G Block!!!

I have completed the block G minus the stitching as I am still wondering what to do....  I am not sure if I should do it all in blue as that seems to be the larger amount of colour in my fabric or the thread that it is suppose to be according to the book - decision decisions......



 So my plan for this quilt is to do all the blocks and then figure out what kind of floss I will be using.  But I really need a big kick in the you know what and get started on my Tis the Season now that I have all the fabric and floss that I need.

my blocks may have looked more blue the yours.........and I used blue threads.........make a decision and get stitching.........love the fabrics you have chosen .............
and get moving on tis the Season.......you will love stitching them inbetween the GJ as they are quicker stitching........

I like the blue thread idea...what about a variegated if you want to add some interest...just a thought...
