April Blocks finished
I love stitching the blocks for this project, it’s just lucky I have so many things on the go or I would have kept going & finished them all. :-)
oh, your blocks look so pretty...I love how you have used the different colored threads....and your fabrics are so nice....a delightful change from the pattern!
Wow thanks everyone for your kind words!!! I wondered if I'd done the right thing going with different colours. It's been especially challenging finding a colour to substitute for white, as in Santa's trim & beard, but I've gone with grey tones & they seem to work.
