An orchard completed..........

Hi there, I'm very happy to have finally finished my June(shame on me I know) block.  Here it is hot off the sewing machine this morning. 
Now I just need to try and catch up with July and Augusts blocks.  I want to try and have things under control before spring when there won't be as much time for stitching around here!  I am loving seeing all of the completed blocks out there, they are all so beautiful and so many different colour combinations.  Gorgeous!

Take care and happy stitching,
Nicky
