April's Quilt Blocks

Yesterday I finished the second of the April blocks. The original course block featured just a sun. I found that too boring and added a flower. How appropriate for our sunny spring weather. The ladies in my knitting group suggested the half-hex leaf. Love it. There is only one machine stitched seam in this block, where the grass meets the sky. Everything else is hand sewn.

I also went back and added some tumbling hexagons to the first April block. I couldn't tolerate all that bare space.

Here are all my blocks so far. I can't wait to see what the May blocks will be.

Now to get busy practicing machine quilting. Singha's quilt will be my guinea pig. Craftsy is also offering me 50% off the advanced machine quilting course. I may have to jump on that.
