Isn't it great when you finish something - even if it is only one block! I had a great feeling of achievement when I finished this first block. It seems like each block in this quilt is a separate mini project - works well for me.

I'm happy with the result. I chose a lighter colour brown for the trunk and branches than I had originally intended, but I wanted it to not get lost and this seems to fit the criteria. It is Moda essential dots in gold.
And since so much of my prep is already done - I am ready to attack the second block.

Looking forward to starting it, but I have a few things on the go so not quite sure when that will be. I hope this blog is around for awhile!!
I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all who posted comments last time. My reply function doesn't seem to work the same way as it does on my own blog so replying has been difficult. I am working on it. Please don't think I'm ignoring you, I really appreciate your kind comments. I'm also really enjoying seeing all the other versions of these quilts that are being posted. I have to say that there is nothing here that I don't like. The level of creativity is awesome.
Bye for now,
Deb
