Tell Me a Story Part 3

Here are some of the blocks I've made, along with their stories, for Amy Friend's Tell Me a Story quilt block challenge. The pattern for these blocks can be found in Amy's new book Intentional Piecing.  See my two previous posts for more info on this fun challenge!

Tune in tomorrow....yes, there are more!
