4 through 12...

As I was getting my block pictures  organized (since I already messed up my order for #1 and #2) I realized I didn't even have pictures of a couple of my blocks.  So, not to add  to my confusion that I find myself in already and since  I have all my blocks done through #12, I am going to post them now  and then from here on out all I have to worry about is one block at a time per month.  So don't hate me, but I have been working on them a little longer than some of you.  ;D

 
#4....I think this one is my favorite so far.  Lots of red; and I love red!


#5....I love the placement of the flower on my basket.



#6....I like this block.  It's kinda dainty and I love  adding my red/white check here. 



#7...This one bothered me. The stems look like they are behind the bowl and not "in" it, but I guess that is my perfectionism at work.  I followed the pattern AND I love all the cherries and even that some of them aren't ripe (thus the green ones). 



#8...This one was kind of boring to work on.  I think it was because I was doing the same thing in all four corners.  Lot of pieces.  If I had it to do over again, I would place some of my reds in different positions.  I had numbered my pieces and then laid out the fabrics according to numbers rather than their actual placement.  Oh well.



#9...When you are trying to pretty much stick with one line of fabric, I found it hard to find a really good fabric for the bird, but I tried with this particular French General fabric to make the bird look as if he had feathers. 



#10...I like this block.  Maybe it is because of the big cherries.  Kind of a simple block, but I could almost see a whole quilt done up in this one. 



#11...I like the bowl, but the rest of the block is a little too sparse for me.  The one thing I did do with this block though is to use a woven fabric for the background.  I hope I didn't make a mistake by doing that.  It is much heavier than the rest of the backgrounds, but I really wanted that red dot.  There will be one more block with this fabric somewhere down the line



# 12.....wow, this one was a doozy.  Lots of little fingerlings.  Those hairpin turns were time consuming.  I like the block but am glad I don't have to make more of them. 

Well, I hope I didn't bore you too much.  I am caught up now.  So, I am off to start block #13.

  2. If you don't have anything else going, I think two blocks a month is doable. It's just that life sometimes gets in the way.
