I originally did the Confetti Clusters square by Toni of TL Yarn Crafts, and I loved it. It felt like it fit the space theme of the book. The square as Toni designed is bigger than those I’m doing so I stopped the pattern after 5 rounds, the same number of rounds I’ve done on all my blocks but one (which I’m going to redo at some point. But it ended up much too big.

I did it with the same yarns, many of which I’ve used in other blocks, as well as the same hook size. It used the same DC stitch, so I assumed it would be a similar size. It wasn’t. So it’s now a coaster, and I redid the block to what you see in the graphic above.
