Great job Irene.
I do agree about feeling the block was a little ho-hum in comparison with some of the others though. I was thinking I should have used a more exciting background fabric. Just thought it though - don't intend redoing it.

Nice Irene! Let's not think of this block as boring, let's think of it as restful. Your blue is especially cool and peaceful looking. Here's vote number three for not doing anything over. I always remind myself that each block is just a small part of my future wall-hanging. As a whole, our quilts will be stunning and very visually interesting. A couple plain-Jane blocks won't change that and will give our eyes a place to rest for a while.
Difergie - please post some pictures when you get the chance to start your blocks. I'm sure we'd all love to see them!

I have my this week block done and also my next week block. I'll try to post photos after I get the paper out and press them.
I seem to be working in jerky starts and stops. The thing is that I am working on 5 quilts at once. Not the greatest way to get anything finished. I keep promising myself that I won't start anything else until I get a couple projects finished.... but that may be several weeks away!
Summer was slow starting here in Bakersfield California, but yesterday, the 1st day of Summer, we hit 104*, and are expecting 106* today. I think it is here!
Had a new air conditioner unit installed yesterday, and now our house is so cool. Between that and the swimming pool, this promises to be a very nice Summer.
hugs, Jupiter
