Yes I know, it’s mid-January, and I’ve only just finished my December Around the Block squares for our wonderful bee hostess Sheridan.  I was very thankful for having January as a catch-up month!  Sheridan had sent us a beautiful group of green and grey fabrics, with instructions to make blocks that were all about squares and symmetry.  Because the fabrics were so appealing I made four blocks – I couldn’t bear to not use any of those marvellous prints!

I found this such a restful, relaxing yet refreshing palette to work with. Thanks so much Sheridan! It was also fun working out how to do each block. I have started drawing up what I think I want to do on paper then doing the maths to figure out what size to cut each piece so that I’ll end up with the correctly sized block.

I’m working hard at the moment to finish off incomplete tasks, while interspersing a few new things to keep me fresh. 2010 will be the year of completing all projects and not overcommitting to new ones!
