Player Piano Mouse

One of  Author quilt blocks will feature a book by Dr. Dachman, Player Piano Mouse.  I have had fun making this block, both the mouse and the piano keys.  It's a little wider than most of our other blocks, but it can be trimmed down and help to even out a short row.  (Not all of our blocks are turning out to be 10 1/2" square!)  You'd think with paper piecing, all the blocks will end up perfectly, but that's not the case.  Some are 10 1/4" or some other measurement.  One turned out to be only 9.5" wide, an inch too short.  We could add on an extra book to each short block to bring each block to the 10.5"  but we talked it over and decided to "square each row" to 60" rather than dink around with tiny individual variances!  So here is "Player Piano Mouse."  I used musical themed fabrics for the two books, too!
