In Honor of Barbara, a NYBeauty

On one post are both blocks. One is done in traditional FPP(2022), and then the other part is made using freezer paper FPP, done two years later. I also changed up the colors a bit, but not by much.

Block 8: Shimmer (make 5)
This has two colorations (see blog post for details), and I used the freezer paper method.
