Block 4

I'm a little late is month, but I would never forget my Benjamin Blocks!

I've been sidetracked with so many other wonderful quilts ;)

Here it is, I'm I love with the pink and green !

And here they all are, starting to look good together ;)

I haven't cut the blocks to size yet, am going to leave that till I finish them all.  And now I only have to wait to a few more days till the next one is available!

Hope you gals are stitching up a storm.

Block 3

Hello Ladies,

Please excuse my appliqué fingers in the close up pic of the tiny templates. At the 12 " size, block 3 was fiddly and fought me every single step of the way. I won though !!! I'm really loving the blocks still and can't wait till next month.

Keep on stitching,

Block 2

Happy sewing ladies,

Block 1

Hello Ladies,

I'm Kel from NSW Australia. I'm so happy to be part of this BOM and hope to be able to keep up with you all. 

I completed Block 1 at the original full size and colour scheme, red and green. I wasn't feeling the colour at all and I didn't like the large size either. Picky aren't i!

So I printed out the pattern again this time at 75 percent and came up with a block 12 inches square that will finish at 11.5 inches. Weird i know but I'm happy with the block and it's size. I think it's a far more manageable size and less background fabric! 

As far as colours go I'm going with Teal, Red, Pink and green. And possibly some browns for good measure. I didn't like the rosebud thingies so I decided to leave those out as well. I think I'm going to take a leaf out of Gay's book and do the little petals when its all sewn together. Not entirely sure but I want to keep my options open.

Sew, without further ado, here is my block one original and my smaller block.

Keep on stitching,

Kel
