F-5


Difficulty of block: easy
Number of pieces: 17
Method used: hand piecing, hand applique

It appears that the original Parcheesi block was all hand appliqued, but I thought it was a perfect block to hand piece, except for the melons.  All I had to do was run a seam line from square to square (where the melons go) and I was left with 13 straight edged pieces to stitch together.

Easy? That sure doesn't appear easy at all. Great job and as usual, great fabrics as well.

I have tried to leave comments before.
I am yet another person who checks every monday morning to what you have done each week, thank you for your weekly inspiration, I have done 78 squares so far.
We have formed our own little Dear jane group here in the UK.
Once again thank you for your constant inspiration

Wonderful fabrics with these bold colors. Love it.
As you've made so many blocks, I don't think any of them are going to slow you down. You've found a way to ease through even the most challenging ones.

Those are some fabulous fabrics! Very bold. And I love your approach to this block. Smart!
