Block 3

Hello all,
 I finished my Block 3.  So far I like this block the best, even though it wasn't especially easy to do.  Continuing with my theme of adding indigo blue to my blocks I added four blueberry sprigs inside the wreath.  I also shrunk the inner leaves so that the berries would fit.
  I used skinny 1/8 inch bias strips for the cherries and blue berries, but my stems that attach the cherries to the wreath are thicker.  If I had to do it again, I would have made them 1/8th inch also.  I used freezer paper under the circular wreath rather than bias so that I would not have a join,

All in all, I am happy the way it turned out.

Block 2

Hi all,
  I have my second block done. Woo,hoo. This one was easy. I added indigo blue to the block just like I plan to do to all the blocks. I don't want to overwhelm the red, so I just added a little blue insert on the red.  The red was from stash, a long time ago, I wish I had more of it. I noticed one of my pictures from last month vanished mysteriously.  I don't know what happened. It was my stash for this quilt, so I will try to post it again.
