Sophie!  Thanks!  Waiting on one more block.

This month I made four of the cactus blocks. These are new to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed sewing them and learning a bit in the...

Here are my entries for this month. I got bolder with the fabric choices as I proceeded....

I’d forgotten how much I liked this block.  I’ve made it in several sizes.  Great color choices, Sophie. Here are 5 for me this month. Kathie...

Sorry that I picked such a pale shade of yellow for this pattern. I made two additional blocks with a white “pot” but I felt that the contrast was not strong enough half way through sewing them together and abandoned them. Anyway, this is a cute pattern and I hope whoever wins these will find my pale blocks blend well enough with the more vibrant...

And ooops! I forgot to take a picture of just the two new ones, so Sophie, this is a total of 4 for me, 2 for me and 2 for donation. So...

I was going to not post until tomorrow so I could say Six Succulents Sewn Saturday but here I am. Hah! I forgot how satisfyingly easy this block is to sew.  Started out delving into my batiks (orange, green, blue, yellow) then branched out to my scraps.  I hope those two blocks that are a bit out there are okay standard-wise, Sophie.  If not, I can...

Well, Sophie did say “your choice of fabric”, and when I dug through my scrap bin I couldn’t resist trying this print for the pot.  Yes, those are Easter eggs.  Most of the blocks posted are more or less solids, though, so I am not sure if this one is too wild to work with them.  Let me know if it’s outside the guidelines. ...

Here are my four cactus blocks for donation.  Great pattern, once the pieces are cut, it goes together pretty...

These were a lot of fun. I love any basket-looking thing. The measurements on the corrected pattern gave me a perfect 8.5 inch square block. 1 for me, 1 to...

Here’s my first cactus block for donation.  I found that the pattern instructions for the background rectangles were too small.  I had to make them 2.5 x 4.5 vs what the pattern called for-2 x 3.5 then everything went together well. With five week old twins in the house my other donation blocks will come straggling in over the month as I get a spare hour to work on them....

I made two cactus blocks today.  Please let me know if the block on the right is unacceptable because I used two different yellow backgrounds.  I only had enough of the one yellow scrap and then realized that I needed a 2.5″ x 4.5″ piece vs. a 2.5″ x 3.5″...
