    Jan--before your block was Anael and Mirabelle.

    Here's mine. Beatrice wanted to be in the picture too so put her paws out on the footstool when I laid the block down.

    Jan, is that 2 different fabrics you used on the outer "leaves"? I like the idea-hadn't thought of that.

    Yeah, more beautiful blocks
    Carrie, you're lucky, only paws in the picture. If I tried that you wouldn't see a block, just my Killer Kitty

    Wow everyone's 2nd block looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well here is mine I have decided to add the side pieces and this is what I chose as my side something more neutral because of all the colors in the blocks I wanted the blocks to stand out. The middle spike is a yellow fairy frost does not show up well at least on my monitor.

    Please excuse the Senior Blonde moment this morning. Sorry Anael! I'm getting like my grandmother was--called us all by the other grandkids names so we didn't know who she was talking to. I do love your block; I guess I was already anticipating liking Carrie's--and I do! You never disappoint and the paws add just the right texture to the block LOL.

    Jillnjo, I love the bright colors you used. And you ladies are so brave to use stripes! I avoid them like y-seams. I did use 2 fabrics for the outer leaves, thought it added some depth.

    FrustratedQ, that is an awesome block. Can I ask what the dotted fabric is in the center? I really like that and need something that reads as neutral but still has some color/movement.

    Juanita, your block reminds me of spring time--very pretty!
