WOOT WOOT PART 1 DONE!!!

 
Beat the deadline by 6 days!!! YAY!!!
 
 
After a lot of serious thinking I decided to do the applique with buttonhole.
I have way too much on my plate at the moment and as I have never done needle turn I decided to go the easier way.

 
Part 2 cut out and applique ironed on ready to go!!

And so it begins



So originally I was going to go with Block of Month from The Home Patch but after looking at how much fabric I already own I decided to go with my own stash .... 
So too begin I'm using Floral Gathering Shirtings as some backgrounds and everything else will be from a Midwinter Refs layer cake and the Reds I got in my birthday swap :)) 
So today I'm going to cut my backgrounds , all ready for the weekend so I can sit and stitch .
