February 2010 Block of the Month - Cross My Heart - PICTURES
#191
11th hour but I got my February block done this afternoon. I had two short pieces of fabric that really had me worried if I would have enough for the block. And wouldn't you know it, just because I had short pieces, those were the ones I ended up having to do over, rip out and barely by the skin of my teeth. This block is made from my scrappy bag.

Here are the rest of my blocks. I changed the blue one by swapping out the clear blue points for a more greyed blue floral. And I changed out the dark green points for a lighter more open floral on another block.
I have not decided where the blocks will go in the final quilt....these are just put up on my design wall. I will probably put a sashing with corner blocks in and a double sashing with corner blocks (will be 2 at each corner) for the border. Not sure yet though. I will post a final picture when it is finished. I need to put this away for a week so I can finish a quilt I've been working on for my youngest son (36 yrs).

I think I may have left off one or two blocks individually, but they are in the final arrangement.
Oops, didn't mean to double post these. :roll:

Thank you both for your compliments.
I did use my stash except for a couple fat quarters I purchased for background. I will have to say, though, that a few years ago a friend of my sister's, who is a rep for Moda fabrics, gave me some sample packets of coordinating fabrics to put in my stash. I used some of those on a few blocks so it made it easy to coordinate fabrics on those blocks. A few fabrics I just had small scraps of and I did miscut one so I couldn't use it...and it was so pretty.
I only repeated one fabric, but there are a few fabrics that are the same print but in different colors. I had fabric flying I tell you!!! And I have a big cleanup to do in my sewing room now.
