Jo (TAS) finishes Block G
Don't you love holidays, especially when you can sit and stitch to your hearts content. I have cut all my fabrics in readiness to complete all the blocks as I complete the stitcheries. I completed Block G with a slight variation, can you pick it?
That works really well...looking good..I am almost at the same stage - just haven't finished the stitching on the "watering the garden" block....all the pieces are cut out and ready to go....that took a while..LOL
It looks very nice and a good idea. For me is it too late to change anything as I finished my block G yesterday but it tooks me a good deal of thinking to finish it. You have chosen very beatiful fabrics.

Jo the block looks gorgeous...two strips instead of one on the R/H side..??
That's correct, I'm using a jelly roll and a charm pack for the blocks!
That`s clever,looks very nice,Jo.
Not so much free time for me this Easter, so I`ll be working hard next week.
Happy Quilting :-)
Looks great Jo - what a start. I too have the fabrics cut, just need to start the stitching, but have also had a good weekened doing catchup.
