I only say that because I had this briiiiiiiiiiiiight idea. (you might not sense the sarcasm but it's there!) This bright idea would be making these 12.5 blocks out of four 6.5 blocks. jeesh!
Here is my January block. Everyone did some beautiful snowflakes but I wanted to do something different so I did snow people. You know how snow people's mouthes are supposed to be made of button holes? That would be about 20-28 little circles, so in Laura's world, snow people's mouthes are made "with sticks."
Tink, I really hope you understand!
On the right, is my February block...log cabin paper-peiced hearts. I am not a big fan of pink but I have to say--that's nice!!
This is Ms. March! hahaha sorry I'm sounding like I am detailing a model calendar! hehehe Anyway, I got this pattern off Quilter's Cache Fading Star. I liked the gradations and I do have to say--this must be the first time I used the colors in the original pattern!
And, finally, here is Ms. April....I paper pieced two butterflies and two flowers. I had to applique leaves on the flowers so they wouldn't look like lollipops! The butterflies were difficult too because I couldn't get the whole black portion (the body of the butterfly) paperpieced without doing a y-seam. There must be a way to figure it out. I have yet to. Anyone with some suggestions?
