Sometimes it takes longer to find the fabric I want to use than to sew the block. Lol!

Ah Connie I agree. And then when you think you have found it, put the block together and then put it with the others that are done so far, it seems not to fit sometimes, lol. Yours looks good. Love the purples, Cheesehead. Need to do more with that color myself, expand my comfort zone. Okay, do a better job of picking colors, either way, I'm having fun.

Just finished my second block for this month. Now I can pack away this fabric for the journey back to Wisconsin.

I really like how this block showcases the hydranga fabric. Thinking that it will be used in the center of the quilt with some additions made around it to form a medallion.[ATTACH=CONFIG]572414[/ATTACH]

Great blocks, Cheesehead, Oksewnsew, and Carrot.

Oksewnsew: I'm chuckling too but it feels good to have something checked off early in the month.

I recently found a website called printfriendly.com. Go to the website you want to copy and copy the address And then paste on the printfriendly.com website. It will copy without all the added garbage then you can make it into a PDF file Or print it. I have fun on this very very helpful
