Not sure how happy I am with my colour choices this week! I am trying to get a range of colours included in these blocks because my first tendency is to go for the beautiful rich reds and blues.
I opted for mustard and blue, but looking at all my blocks together I really will have to try and include more greens!
I have also completed the setting triangle segments for my Vintage Hexie quilt. I had a play on EQ and experimented with different simple blocks to include. Here is an update!!!
The 30's prints are wonderful to work with, so different from the repros I usually play with. They are such happy colours and prints, ummmmm.......they could get addictive!!!
I know this weekend is a long one for our American friends. I hope you all have a safe and reflective Memorial Day!
Thankyou for dropping by,
take it easy!

Love, Love, Love what you've done with the hexie blocks. I never would have thought of those blocks and setting and it looks great. I love the 30's repros, too.
Your setting blocks are amazing! Love your CW block too! :0)
I knew you would come up with something wonderful for the hexies!! Love it.
Your Civil War BOW looks great. I tried to mix in some gold/cheddar into my blocks and the 3 I made with it look like they belong elsewhere. Samplers are so hard sometimes.
Those hexies look sparkling after their visit to the beauty parlour. They look very content in their new surroundings. Another lovely CW block strong colour and interesting designs.
Oh my goodness! Your little setting for the hexies is perfect in every way!! Fantastic!!
I love your CW block, I think the colors are great. Keep up the good work. Happy to have found your blog.
I love your CW block, I think the colours look great..funny how we tend to stick to the same colours that we love..
gosh I'm so behind with my CW blocks...I blame the blue and white quilt for that!
Have a lovely day Merilyn
As always, your blocks are amazing. I love the colours in your CW block, but I'm like you and have to stop going for the same colours every time. Love the hexie block... just wonderful.
oh wow that setting is just amazing, very beautiful!
great choices of fabrics for the CW block too.
