I've finished my FIRST block !!!!

Yes, I've received all my fabric and I've cut most of it up and this is my first Block G.

I'm loving the fabric and there is also a brown but I'm saving it for the inner border. I've got a few other stitcheries in water, washing the pen off and then I'll sew up my next block.

Can I suggest to do the blocks as you go as there is a lot of reading and I couldn't do it all at once. I'm also realising that I don't read instructions very well. I'm making a few mistakes. Oops.

I think your block there looks super :-).I am excited to see all the different ranges we use. Lots to read properly; always ways of doing a little mistake. But good thing it doesn`t show when up there on the wall or on the bed.

Lovely fabric Fiona. That's the beauty of busy quilts you would have to really study it to find any faults and really, why would you? It's gorgeous...

Thanks ladies... I just love this fabric too. Hope I have enough?
I agree "bugger" the instructions, mine will be individual. I think it's actually in the stitchery of the next block.
I also LOVE seeing everyone's blocks etc. Thanks for "MAKING" me join this group... LOL!
