June...Late but...Tick!!...

While bunkering down on the couch this morning hiding from the white crunchy (frost not snow) brrrrr world outside I finally managed to get the last stitch into the final of June's blocks...then the world went all blue and bright (apparently it's called sky & sunshine) so they went outside for photo time...
Two of the big blocks are somehow off centred but I'm choosing to ignore that...so that's June for me thanks Chooky...

I've decided which blocks I'm going to repeat as my make-up blocks for the ones I discounted along the way...I want to do those before starting on the centre so I can pin all the blocks up and see what fabrics the centre might want to be...althogh I've started one of them I'm taking a wee break from Nature's Journey for a couple of weeks so I'll be behind for a little while yet...oh well, you get that, moving on...

Happy Stitching...
