Like some others here, I didn't want to make the block with the prints like in the book, so I rearranged them. I used a 30's fabric. The selvedge says 'Sewing circles of the 30's & 40's by Brackman & Thompson "The Firefly Club" for moda.'

I think I have some of that fabric with the 2 kids....Guess I should see if I can find it...don't have much 30's fabric...cute fabric....cute block...givio...
slowly progressing in my sewing space as I go through bits and pieces....it's taken me soooo long to place my sewing table, cutting table and ironing board along with my fabric storage...now that I have it the way I like it I'm trying to make sense of my scraps

Here are my Anne and April blocks. I don't think I chose fabrics very well for the April... I didn't have a solid blue dark enough to stand out and my blue and white print is too large. But... it's done.
I LOVE the Anne block!
When I found this thread to post my pictures I was so tickled that I had used the same yellow duck fabric as klgreene in our April blocks.

Sewbizgirl those two blocks are so pretty. I had read where you were starting with the beginning blocks, and then I seen your name on this weeks. Last night I printed out about 20 of the beginning ones to at least put in my notebook, and then when I can work on one here and there too, but I am a slow one. I enjoy reading back and seeing everyone's blocks at the beginning of the quilt along. Each block always amazes me.

sewbizgirl, I like your arrangement of the prints and the light blue pieces. It really gives the block pattern a different look. I did mine so long ago-- is that the way it was arranged in the book? I'll have to check that out again. :-) Obviously, I did mine different. Sometimes if they are not symmetrical in the book, then I think I don't like them and change the fabrics around to my liking, but then when I see someone else's block, I think, "oh, that's nice!" lol
