I have finished my stitching for Block G ( you can only see the watering the garden stitchery but the bird bath is done as well). I have spent way too much time agonising over which fabric to use. If I had the time I could make a whole variety of colour ways but I have finally decided that I will use Garden Party. I know others are using it too - but I just think that it is perfect for this quilt. Mine may turn out more scrappy because I am using a layer cake, so I have some interesting times ahead trying to figure out the cutting. I do have some scraps as well so I should have no problems with yardage. I have actually started stitching a little bit ahead but now I have made my fabric choice I can start putting the block together.
Kayly suggested that I use an older Robyn Pandolph line - Sentimental Journey. I definately have enough in my stash and I am sure that it would have looked lovely too. But I like the tiny prints in the Garden Party range and the layer cake was a birthday gift so it seems the right choice this time. Now to get things under way.

oh just dive in and start cutting.........I should do mine tonight too.......
garden party will be lovely........maybe cut your bigger pieces first......
Then we will be two of a kind, but
I think we are more. For me it is due to a sad fact that I did not get the fabric I ordered! Anyway the Garden Party is really nice. Looking forward to seeing yours.
Happy Stitching :-)
Lovely choice Lynda. Now back to the sewing machine!!!
Hi Lynda, I'm using the layer cake bites too --- from Garden Party. But I added some other fabrics while I cutted the pieces. Now it's interesting to see your first block pieced together.
Beautiful fabric! Just do it!
I Love your fabrics they are gorgeous!!
Lovely material. I have finally started stitching. I'll do a post some time this week. Hopefully, by the weekend, I will have caught up with the April work and can begin on the May.
