June Blocks

Just scraping in by the skin of my teeth. Smile

mice, elfelfmice

They have been stitched for a while but I’ve been flat chat making birthday gifts & I’ve done hardly any blogging of late. My dd loved her lap quilt I gave her last Sunday & I still have a top secret project underway. My July blocks are already done but I’ll post them in July.

There has been an issue with these 2 blocks with the contrast, so many light things on the light background. They are a bit easier to see in ‘real life’ but I may restitch the mice in a darker grey.

If you’d like to see dd Emma’s lap quilt, I did blog about it, here:

cheers, Jan
