May Blocks

Have finished stitching my May blocks and strip.

Sewing Block - There was a lot of work in this one!




Best Friends - so adorable!

My row

and the quilt so far - I love it!

It's such a gorgeous day today here!  I will be outside stitching my June blocks soon!  Don't you just love sitting outside in the sun stitching?

Love it, I have been inspired to start on this quilt myself, although I haven't tried needle turn applique yet!

I thought both of these blocks were very involved. I still have to do my samplers of quilt blocks on the sewing block so I'm not sure I'll finish all the requirements by the end of May.
