Here is my March block. I'm not satisfied with the background, so may make another. I ran out of fabric for the background (lacked 2 inches for the final block), so I decided to have my shamrock growing in a field of flowers. Couldn't quite pull that one off, so will probably redo. It was an easy, fun block to make, though!

I made my Shamrock block this evening, I like how it turned out. In case any of you are on the Mystery Train now, you'll see it posted there!! I just pulled it up and posted away!! Geesch.
Now I can concentrate on what April's block will be. Hmmmm, think SPRING?? ;o)

Sulabug, I think the pattern Nicky used is from the book 365 Foundation Quilt Blocks from Linda Causee. I have the book, itīs great, never made a block but I love looking at it and need to find the courage to start one of them!

Anael and Nicky - is the book different enough from Carol Doake's Foundation Factory to be worth buying as well? It retails at A$45.00 here (have seen it on special for A$38) so would be interested to hear your opinion before considering it.
It's been great seeing everyone's blocks so far - they are all fabulous.

My March block of the month
I am enjoying the blocks of the month. I even had my handy guy (oh, he's so handy) make me a rack to hang the blocks every month.

OH MY GOSH.....I thought I was posting small pictures. On the camera with my Xoom it has picture sizes by pixels and I had no idea how many pixels would be equal to 640 x 480...the recommended size. The default is 5 pixels and I choose 3....too BIG.

Forgot to mention that when I was cutting my squares I goofed...cut them 2.5 instead of 3.5. I decided to go with it at that size and it worked out better for me. My little rack is made for a 12" block and I wouldn't have been able to put a border on the original size...it would have been too large. Sometimes our "goofs" aren't sew bad, huh!
