I made 2 more blocks this weekend. I apologise for the bad photography - the light is awful today! The blocks are actually much brighter and many of your fabrics have metallic gold running through them Fajita. Catllar, yours should have been more complex - in my head I was making 4 pinwheel 'blocks' interlocking together. Except I didn't;t realise they counted each quarter of the pinwheel as a block and I did't realise until I have cut up your fabric and it was too late! I hope it isn't too simple for you - it is very bright still. I will press both blocks properly before posting as well.

Website is all up to date

Pearl these blocks look great! I am guessing all this sewing means you have finished school now? We have until Friday and I am crawling through lol.

I have done some more of Effie’s block which I am hand piecing but I admit to being distracted by making a clutch bag this wkend
