UPDATED - Christmas blocks for June

Sandy has let me know that the block I made has arrived ;-)

Sandy requested the Amish Diamond block in traditional Christmas colours with a cream background.

EDITED:  Here is the block Sandy sent to me 


Here is the block I made for Fiona
Fiona requested any Yellow Star on a Christmassy Background - I knew that the Friendship Star block would be great for the large print bauble fabric 


Thanks to Sandy & Fiona for letting me know the blocks have arrived ;-)


Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.

Block Swaps - My first Dresden Plate block!

I completed my first Dresden Plate block this week ;-) for Margaret, my June partner for QBSA


Margaret requested Dresden Plate with points and each petal a different colour alternating light and dark, on black background. I prefer bright happy colours.  
I am so pleased with my first effort!  I do hope you are happy with it when it arrives, 

so much so, I have ordered a Dresden Plate Ruler from OzQuilts so that I can make up some more and not have to use a paper template.  I am sure a good ruler will make all the difference in the accuracy ;-)


I also completed a log cabin block for Alison for QBSA


Alison requested LOG CABINS - aqua to teal shades (can have other colours blended with these) I have reds/oranges/greens etc) with lime to chartreuse green on the other side (again will have other colours blended).

I do hope I have interpreted your colour request correctly, by keeping the yellow greens on one side and the blue greens on the other ;-)
