  1. First I want to thank you for your videos, they are very informative and helpful. On this latest one, the “valentine Flower” though I thought it would be easier to piece the heart flower section by cutting 1 pink rectangle, 1 pink square and 1 white square instead.to achieve the same visual shape.
