Blocked!

I have been piecing some individual blocks 

 this week.... 

 Pattern testing this "Star Gazing" block


 for Gemma at Pretty Bobbins!

 I think it might become a cushion cover?

These heart blocks are from "Quilt Lovely",


 which may become a quilt?

and my bee block, paper pieced, for Stephanie-

our Queen for April in the MCM Bee.

I picked up this bargain at a country op shop 

last week...

nearly three metres of backing for $6!

(Just need to buy some matching thread and 

 I can start quilting the "Pacific Lime" quilt.)

And finally all these buttons sent by Cindy, 

as a souvenir of QuiltCon!
Thank you quilty friends, I love these!
Happy sewing!

    You've certainly been busy, Suz. And none of it looks very run-of-the-mill either, so well done. Big score with that backing - I can't decide the fabric's showing a school of fish from a plan view or if they are gum leaves with eyes?

    You've been busy making lots of super duper blocks!! Finding that backing in the right colour for Pacific Lime was a fortuitous find!

    they may just be blocks, but you obviously put so much thought into fabric choices, and you are so precise - I love it!

    Finding that fabric for your backing, win! You have been busy and none of those blocks look super quick to piece. Hope you are having a lovely break.

    I'm amazed that you have our April MCM Bee block finished already! Love that center fabric. Very appropriate. You know how much I admire those heart blocks as I've been stalking you on Instagram ;-) Started mine today in between flying geese blocks ;-)) Glad you have the buttons from QuiltCon. They look so happy all hanging out together!
