I've started sewing the border pieces on some of the blocks, and I think I'm going to like the result, though it's going to take a long time.  These are just laid out together.  I'll work out the layout when I have more blocks that are complete.

Block 6, which I finished sewing together at quilting club yesterday evening.  I think it's looking a bit too brown/beige so far, but I do have some blue blocks ready to sew together.

Here's block 5.



I've found some fabrics in my stash, and am seeing if I like them for the background.  I doubt I'll find the same patterns, but it gives me a good idea of what I think looks nice.

I didn't have any time to sew at the weekend, but finished block 4 today.

I think I'll choose my background fabric soon, so I can make the borders as I go.  If I don't, making only white patches at the end will probably get a bit boring!

I finished sewing together the third block this morning.  The fabric in the middle is from Fig Tree Quilts again.

Here's my second finished block.  I found some lovely fabric by Fig Tree Quilts when I was on holiday in Oban (the flowery yellow in the middle).   The rest is from my stash.

I first saw some Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses Blocks on Red Brolly's website, and I fell in love with the clever use of pattern and fussy cutting.
I bought some fabric, found more in my stash & have started making some blocks.

This is the first one:



This is addictive, and I have quite a few elongated hexagons ready to sew together once I find a combination I like.
