1st Sapphire Star finished

The dark colour when I laid it out was  too dark so a bit of hunting produced the block blue.
Still have 3 more to go

Beeeeautiful!!!

Run along to the BOM HOF now @Bjay and see how the Gin is holding out ... @Lilian  will bring more Fevertree

:angel:       :angel:
My blues were a bit too dark I think ... OR ... it might be the light in my dining room!!!!

I will see when I take the six blocks out in the daylight (Six gemstones)  ... but theyre done and I doubt I'll redo.

August's Block is looking good, I've made Two of the Four required, Hope I can finish them this week!

@Iminei  I am thinking that my dark corners might be too dark?  What do you think?  It shouldn't be too difficult to change them  -<

@Lilian FWIW I think your dark corners look really good - they make the gemstone pop!   :loveit:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Eventually knuckled down to finishing my Sapphire blocks this afternoon. I'm not particularly happy with them - I don't like the thickness where the FG and SiS join, but they'll look OK once they're all quilted. The centre square IS actually a blue batik but in the photo it looks a murky grey. :\

Onwards and upwards to Block 5 for me. ;)
