No excuses for it but sheer laziness in posting the pictures of my block or blocks I should say I'm up to block 5 but because i use glue baste it i like to wash the completed blocks separately and rid the blocks of all the glue before i iron and cut them into the correct size. I have only washed one block so far see its laziness.
The background fabric i love but can be a bit challenging at times so i have to use really bright colours as the pretty one just sink into the background. I love the basket on this one, mind you this block was finished the first 2 days of receiving the kit.
I am ordering the Flower Garden quilt kit next fortnight my partner is buying it for my birthday and I'm going to use the mint spots for this one can't wait.
You have all been so busy I'm just loving whats coming out of this blog.
Must dash.

I love teh fabric you used for you pot, very stunning! Can't wait to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteLove this block, Adele! I'm again amazed at another wonderful combination of fabrics. They don't look as bright to me as they do definitive which gives it a great luscious earthy and dimensional feel. Can't wait to see more blocks.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what happened Sally to the brightness of the picture, its bright on the camera and the computer but when i upload my pictures to Bloggger they go dull for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI have just washed another one yes its 12.30 am I am now retiring to bed so will put up the next block tomorrow.
Oh that is so bright and cheery. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about you and your blocks, wanting to see your background--it looks great! I'm so intrigued by the different fabrics and how they look on the same blocks. I especially like your pear--perfect! And 5 blocks done? I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeletemy kind of fruit-i-ness...bright as sunshine! looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Adele! What a great block, especially love the middle of the fruit, really great use of the " mirage" fabric.( it is the mirage fabric?) Love to see the rest of the blocks whne you're ready. Kim McL
ReplyDeleteFabulous Block..Love the fabrics.
ReplyDeletecheers
Love the block and all of your fussy cutting. Looking forward to you posting all of your blocks together.
ReplyDeleteThe colours in your blocks are amazing. Love them
ReplyDeleteWonderful block Adele! Can't wait to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see this colorful array of fabrics on the spotted lavender background, one of my favorites. I would never have thought to use it for background, but good for you! I live in fear that any of those spot fabrics will be retired; they are so perfect in so many quilts!
ReplyDeleteI love the sense of energy in your block! I know you said you weren't sure how that background would work out, but I'd say your fabric choices are masterful. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing more. :)
I love the pineappple. The fabric was a perfect choice.
ReplyDeleteI love when I see a block and my face lights up with a big grin, and that is what I am doing right now! Love the Kaffe's and all the different textures using them! WOWWEE!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGOR-geous block Adele! I love the spot fabric for the background. Could you plese get the other blocks up soon??
ReplyDeleteI love your block, fabric choices are wonderful, I absolutely love the fabric you used for your vase. Can't wait to see the rest of your blocks.
ReplyDeleteSmashing block, Adele! : ) I especially LOVE that sunny yellow pineapple, the center portion of the 'melon' and the urn fabric you chose. More, please...?!
