No time to get into the sewing room today, but I still have something to blog - this fabulous birthday swap block from Margaret, which came in the post. As usual, Margaret's work is fabulous, and I love the colours she has chosen for this block. As it's a highly textured cathedral windows block, it really doesn't need anything further doing to it, so I have simply hung it on a wall as is - it makes a superb mini quilt that way.
Thought you might like to see the back as well, as it's also quite funky. I particularly like the b/w fabric which echoes the shape of the cathedral windows on the front. And Wil, if you are reading this, no, you can't have it - I am quite happy to share bits of my black and white stash, but this would be going way too far!

Wow, I love the CW done with tB&W fabrics! If I ever finish my other one I could see doing one like thsi with my hand dyed fabrics in the windows.
The B&W (if not mistaken) was an Alexander Henry which was in 2.5" stripes alternating white on black, then black on white, etc, before I cut it up! It was one of my favorite BW fabrics I had, and oddly, this 10"x14" block took nearly a half yard of that material!
Hi Kate,
You are getting some lovely birthday blocks. I am not sure when in June is your birthday but Happy birthday to you. Will you make the BQL challenge this month?
