That is one truly lovely block. Super layout and colours, the greens fit in so well.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to my sewing room to make this block! It doesn't look as complicated as the bow from last week.... thanks again for the block patterns!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Block!! I've just noticed your 'Print Friendly' Button at the end. Is that new? Thank you for doing that :)!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors/fabrics in your block. Very nice pattern. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think this would make a great tulip quilt!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't wait to start this one. Did enjoy muchly!!! :D
ReplyDeleteLorna, I really enjoyed this block! Thanks so much for letting us sew along with you.
ReplyDeleteI thought I would have a tough time with this one, but I think it is my best so far. Have to get a photo today so I can link it to your QAL. The bow almost did me in; I remade part of it after I posted the photo and it STILL isn't quite right. However, taking the attitude that finished is better than perfect. :-)
