My First Block Finished

Finally my first block G is sewn together! I was waiting for the lovely Yuwa fabric so I could incorporate some into each block and it finally arrived last week! I have stitched in a maroon thread DMC 221 and wanted to incorporate some red fabrics into my quilt - and this is the finished result! My second block is nearly stitched together too! So now I am almost up to date!
