I'm planning on using the face block elsewhere in the quilt.

OH! Your altered block looks like a fox! A very cute fox, at that!

Thanks Andii. You're right about that ice cream. Fabric is so fun. I'm definitely a monochromatic devotee and pinks/purples are my favorite.

What a great learning experience. Thank you sharing with us today.
Thanks Sula Bug; You always say the sweetest things. I agree with you about the BOM projects. All this learning and practicing brings only positive results. Now I can't wait to see March's block.

So many doing the monthly calandah blocks BOM, such a good choice for the year Sulabug, gives us so many blocks to look and enjoy!

Here is my February block, I really need to explain again......

It's our last month of summer very hot and humid, so I have added the yellow for the heat and sun, but it is also our wet season here in the north of Australia, storms, floods, cyclones (hence the umbrellas) and the grey background.

I love all your blocks, well done to everyone!!

Great block Carolyn. It's not our wet season here in the south but we sure have had a few good storms plus giant hail. I'm looking forward to Autumn.
