All Ready to Go!!!

Hi Everyone,
I’m Jan Q from Molly’s Meanderings, waving.

I’ve chosen my fabrics & threads & I’ve traced off my blocks for March. Of course it was a little tricky with a kitten wanting to sit on the fabric & playing with the pen as I traced. But we got there. :-)

everything

I’ve gone quite colourful with my choices, both fabrics & threads. I’ll probably also make a red & white version. Bright reds.

I’ve enlarged the blocks to 5” rather than 4”. I’m now deciding whether to back the blocks with lightweight pellon or lightweight interfacing.

Looking forward to getting started. :-)

cheers,

Jan

I am going to my LQS on Tuesday to find my fabric... I am a little behind on this as my book still has not arrived.
