Caswell Block B5

And here I am again - my addiction is in full force. I've been doing the things that MUST be done - like feeding the family, chores and taking the Christmas decorations down ... but every spare minute I have is spent on tiny appliqué stitches ...

Caswell Quilt - Block B5




This is my tenth block now, and I'm loving how they're coming along. It's so much fun looking into my scraps for the perfect piece for each of the elements. I don't necessarily think I always get each fabric combo right, but that's okay, I do love to throw zingers into the mix.

My sweet friend Donna in Folsom sent me home last year with some of her scraps, and I've been having fun using those too - have you seen them in so many of the blocks Donna? I think 5 of the red petals are from your stash hon!

I've also been enjoying the NZ fabrics I mentioned a little while back, The larger light pink flower is made of one of those, and I just love the little highlights of gold - it really appeals to my bling-loving self.

Tonight I have some cutting out to do before I head to bed - I need to get some HST's ready - and another project entirely, a sweet baby has arrived a little early, so I'm going to get busy on a treat for the precious little bundle. Chatter soon! xox
