BLOCK FOUR

After a trip to the fabric store, where I bought way more fabric than I needed, plus some thread and other stuff, I remade the Alice in Wonderland block for the Mystery Children's Library BOM.

I didn't notice that the print was directional until I took this picture.  Now I'm thinking I should take it apart and get them lined up...later.

Here are the four blocks all together.

I'm going to have to add more blue in the upcoming blocks.  
We still don't know the setting for these.

NOT HAPPY WITH FABRIC CHOICES

The next block in the Mystery Children's Library BOM came out on the first of the month.  This is number 4, "Alice in Wonderland", which is fun because I'm using Alice fabric as my main fabric.

I made my fabric choices and started putting it together.  I realized that the fabric I had chosen for the corner blocks wasn't going to work.

I went through my stash and came up with a few different choices, but I don't like any of them.

These dark red were my original choice.

I tried this blue, but thought it was still too dark.

I pulled this out of my stash, a lighter fabric with blue, but its still not right.

Time to go to the fabric store.

CHILDREN'S LIBRARY #2

BLOCK OF THE MONTH, WEEK, ETC

I'm working on my Solstice Quilt, made two more blocks out of the plaid flannel:

 Week 3 - Tidal Pools

Week 4 - Cobblestones

And started Pat Sloan's "Children's Library" quilt, too.  I'm using the "Alice Through the Looking Glass" fabrics I purchased years ago, plus some go-withs.   I need to find some better greens - uh, oh - that means a trip to the fabric store!   The 'background' fabric', which is white and has little card-men standing on it, has a definite up and down.  I'll have to think about each piece and orient it properly.
