DESCRIPTION from maker

Imperfect Swamp Angel (self given title)

It was one of the ones that y'all made a sticker out of and I thought it looked cool! My ongoing consideration when sewing anything is textile waste and figuring out how to creatively use what I already own. Otherwise, I just went for what felt right. Upon finishing the block I realized that I had messed up the pattern (lol, oops), but I decided to leave it as-is, because imperfection is a part of life (a beautiful part, in my opinion!).
