Well... I was only 3 days late finishing up my April blocks..... not bad all things considered. Here are my blocks all done and dusted......
Apart from the upside down cherries I'm calling this a success.......
Still not sure about those funny little bugs but they are definitely staying.
Here's the reason why I didn't make the end of month deadline......
I'd call it a faux pas.... wouldn't you. My original stitched petals were not pretty. In fact they were downright ugly. Why I chopped out the background fabric I don't know. Sudden rush of blood to the head perhaps. It would have been easier and a more obvious fix to just unpick and restitch.
I did learn a lot about patching holes though..... nail biting stuff I can tell you.
I made another mistake too..... I forgot to blog about my finish here! Hope I don't have to be punished for my omission.
My next BOM arrived this very morning so work will start in earnest on the May blocks tomorrow. Might just go to bed early so I don't have to wait so long to get going.......;)
Hope you all are having a great time working on your blocks..... see you soon...
Hugs

you sure can get an A now but if you posted this when you finished them 3 days into the month you could have got an A 10 days ago.............cheeky aren't it.......can you not stuff a block this month...........you don't need the trauma......
The end result is beautiful!
Your quilt has an amish touch now - looks great!
Darn about cutting the background - (Im sure it made sense at the time...I guess that's the drawback to having a kit - nothing in reserve.
but they all look great - even the upside down cherries...???
