So pretty, Mkotch! I'm getting very excited about seeing these Harriet tops, as they are all going to be so different and distinctive.
I had a great start to my blocks yesterday. I sewed all of my paper pieced first seams without the second fabric, LOL. I should have reviewed the process before starting. All fixed now and rolling again.

I've been working on the applique block from July. I have sewn the petals to the buds and have the center sewn together, so I am ready to start sewing it all to the background. I work on it at my Monday sewing groups so maybe next week or two it will be done.

Hello everyone, so sorry I am a little late posting the next eight blocks. We took the grandchildren to a zoo yesterday and I hadn't walked so far in ages - pretty shattered today !!
Aug 28th.
F 5, Mill Girls, p 52.
F 8, Night and Day, p 53.
Sept 4th.
H 3, Ribbon Star, p 63.
H 6, Royal Cross, p 65.
Sept 11th.
I 1, Soda Springs, p 68.
I 8, Stepping Stones, p 74.
Sept 18th.
E 4, Harriet's Favourite, p 45.
E 9, Kitty Corner, p 48.
I substituted H6 ( Royal Cross ) with B3 Campfire from Loyal Union.
Also - as I hate wasting fabric - the measurements for block I 1 Soda Springs - C - in light beige, dark blue and green fabric said 2 strips cut 11/2" x 8" and when joined crosscut into 4 strip sets 11/2" wide. 4 x 11/2" = 6 so I cut my at 6 1/4" inches instead of 8 inches.
Likewise in block E 9 Kitty Corner - C - cut in dark blue 1 1/4" x 12" and light beige D 2 strips 11/8" x 12". Crosscut joined strip sets into 4 x 21/2" wide. 4 x 21/2" = 10" so I cut my strips at 10 1/2" instead of 12"
I haven't got a lot of some of my fabrics so I am being ultra careful with wasting any LOL !!!!
Here are my finished eight blocks !
