Next part of the story

Well as promised I am back to show you how I am getting on.  I have played around most of the day, and have changed my mind so many times as to how I wanted my block to look.  I did think at first I would go rainbow colours, but it takes me so long to find the right bit of fabric and I am so impatient to get this started I am once again working from my scrap bag.  It still takes me an age to find the colour I want,  the floor is totally covered in bits of fabric, and I toss left right and centre, so everything looks a big mess.

I personally think this is a Tah Dah!! moment, but I suppose some of you clever clogs out there are wondering why I am so pleased with myself........this is my pattern made with EQ6 and I can't believe it is working.

Here you are

9.5" square.  all my own
I think I am going to make the other 3 of these exactly the same, then put them together and see if I still like it.  If it all works, next time rainbows might be on the cards.

Now while I have been busy Mr D has been harvesting his first crop of radishes.  O.K. O.K. there are not sackfuls, but he's the only one that eats them, it is a first time he has tried them, and he really didn't know  just how many would grow.  I also know that a number were eaten before they made the kitchen.
Look good enough to eat ....
I now have to do a bit of cooking, friends coming tomorrow.  I'd love to take photos of my culinary delights,  but its just Butternut soup.
