Even though we had another batch of snow yesterday, I can just feel the earth "waking up" slowly, getting ready for spring to take over.

I made this Buckwheat block using the paper pieced pattern, and just love it!
These are going to make my quilt look more scrappy, as they are introducing some new colors... citron and a different shade of blue, in some DS Quilts fabric by Denyse Schmidt.

I do enjoy making these blocks, in between other projects.
Elaine, The Summercrafter, is making the FWSQ in her weekly series Friday Night Block Party. You can see a whole bunch of FWSQ blocks in my Flickr group here.

Love your shamrock Susie. And those bird pin cushions are so handy. I use mine on a daily basis - it was the first pattern you picked in the ATPSAL - and one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteI love the shamrock pattern..So sweet. We got snow on Monday.ughh!! Your blocks are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are still getting snow!! Very festive coaster and pin cushion and you used very pretty greens!! Every time i see your FW blocks I want to start working on mine. I am sure your swap mug rugs will turn out pretty; they have a pretty spring design!!
ReplyDeleteYour shamrock is very bright and cheerful. I'm sure the spring is coming your way. Hang in there!
