June Done - Susan Oh 2 Sew

Cruising along this month - it's only the 18th and these have been finished for a few days . . 

I swapped the circles of squares for another hexie flower and star....I am not too sure about the red ladybirds either...the red might pop too much when its all together ...but I can't do a lady bird in any colour other than red...
(I think there is a word for being too pedantic...but let's no go there...)


I've made a start on July...got all the shapes ready to go . . .need to play with the background idea and I will be cutting some extra strips as I get all the fabrics out to get ready for those squares that are coming up.

I love seeing all the blocks and all the variations...keep posting girls - progress shots are encouraging for everyone else too.
