My Second Block

This block took me a long time to finish but I am happy with the results. I did not enjoy all the small flowers and don't think my stitches look as good as they should. I do like my polka dots and will be using them throughout the quilt. Overall my quilt will have a lot of red/pink because I tend to like stronger colors.

    No wonder it took you a long time--it's gorgeous! I love your vase and the polka dot trim-brilliant. Will you use those dots in every block? It's one of my favorites.
    Your colors work so well-I especially love that purple in the center. Well done!

    Love your block and like how you used your poka dots. I'm working on this one as I saved it for last because it has so many little pieces. I always put poka dots in each block plus some orange and yellow to give it some punch. Keep going, you are doing a great job.

    Your block looks great--congrats on finishing! I started this block too--going very slowly. I try to do a little flower each time I can sew, but that means it will be forever as there are so many as you know. (I think I have the same blue polka dots on mine too.) Your little pink birds are cute--look spunky as they hover there.

    Kelly, your choice of fabrics is wonderful! You did a beautiful job on this block! I traced the pattern pieces the other day and It is much more detailed than it looks!!

    I love your colors, so bright and cheery. You did a beautiful job on your block not only with the colors but with the applique. Love those little flowers.

    Your block is gorgeous Kelly! Those little stems and flowers are a little fiddly, but you did a great job. I really like the fabrics you've used..especially those polka dots. They really add a lot of sparkle. :)
