I-8

Difficulty of block: easy

Pete's Paintbox almost took on a different look. I cut the four inner triangles out of the blue fabric by mistake. Such a bummer! I was nice and comfy in my favourite chair ready to hand piece.

I'm not sure why, but Brenda has redrafted Mother's Point from the original pattern. The four little squares in two of the blocks should be completely enclosed. Two sides are missing. I have listed this block as an Oops! block on my sidebar. It's still looks nice though.

A road trip to Pennsylvania and a day trip to Toronto have done wonders for my reproduction stash. I found some lovely purples, a bundle of Jo Morton's new line called Toast II and many more. Around 26 yards (about 107 pieces) of reproduction fabric. This should keep me going for a very long time.

Decisions, Decisions is a simply lovely block and I like the rustic feel of the fabric.

Merry May was another fun one to make. I love the colour purple and noticed I only have a couple of pieces in my reproduction stash. Also, I have very little in the way of light neutral fabric. Time for a little shopping!
