Blocks For Julie

I loved putting these blocks together... definitely the style I feel most comfortable with :)

I left the centre of the block pretty large because I couldn't bear to cut it any smaller. Love that submarine.

I seem to like doing the right angle blue lines. Oops. I only realised this after the fact!

I fussy cut the turtle print because Angela had been talking about turtles after her Hawaiian trip so I had turtles on the brain :)

The siggy block is about 5.25" square and fairly simple, in keeping with the other two blocks. (I promise the sides are all straight... I don't know why that right side looks so wonky.)

Julie, I had fun doing these, and working with Neptune was a joy :) Plus I really liked that Kona Crush! So squishy! Hope you like the blocks!!

"Other Peoples' Fabrics"

What IS it about other peoples' fabrics?

bright, shiny, crisp, fresh

all that stuff

this month brought a bee beautiful package full of my favorite colors

colors that were already sitting on my counter

kona crush in that yummy blue

the exact shade of grey in plain kona

but yet these were

other peoples' fabrics

and then it hit me

that feeling we have all had, as quilters

"It's so beautiful, I can't cut into it"

Cmmon.

You've all done it.

Admit it.

Tell me your 

'I just couldn't cut into it' 

story

and maybe Angela will get her blocks!

Happiest Days.
