April Blocks... a little bit late ....


I did struggle with those tiny pieces for these blocks ....

... but a pretty tree is definitely nice to sit under...

... and I just love rainbows..... I'm just watching for the pot of gold under one...
(which of course I would share with all of you)


I think Annie was easing us into this quilt... the first blocks were much easier to do....

With these strips on it is beginning to look like a quilt.....


I'm going to love the next blocks...... Sewing and Best Friends.... definitely favourite things of mine....

It is such fun seeing different colourways in this quilt ...... well done everyone

Righto.... Gotto Go.... prep work to be done....

Very pretty Fiona. I'm not looking forward to those little flowers on the tree, thought of replacing them with felt apples but decided better to get more practice & hopefully I might get some more uniform shapes. Maybe if I stopped crossing all my fingers as I stitch that would help too! Tracee xx
