I had hoped to have more blocks done by now, but the weather the last few days has been SO beautiful and WARM, I just couldn't bring myself to sit at my machine when the sunshine was calling my name... Here are the first 12 blocks and a piece of blueberry fabric that I'm pondering the use of, either for a border, or possibly the backing. Not sure yet... Still haven't decided on the setting either- whether to put the blocks on point with alternate plain squares between or just block to block, or perhaps use some sashing.... And I haven't decided on whether to stop at 16 (4 rows of 4) or do 25 blocks for 5 rows of 5 blocks.... Not very decisive am I? The blocks will be 1 1/8" finished, the HST's are 3/8". Each block uses a different blue and a different cream fabric. (These blocks are foundation-pieced, so they are not lying pefectly flat at this point). The idea for this Miniature came from a photo in an Australian magazine, the design was called Blackberries and Cream. And since I am a
blue fan, of course I had to do
Blueberries and Cream.... More photos later once it's together.Piece,
Linda
Delight in small things.

Looking good. Oh man, those are small blocks. Love the blueberry fabric. Happy Easter!
Ohh Linda, I love this... perfect name too
LOve mini's when they are finished but boy do I resist paper piecing. More power to you...it will be perfect when it is done...I have faith.
