Blocks two and three

I have to say, I really enjoyed myself on Monday, sewing together not one but two blocks for my spring sprouts.

As I said, the kit Tony purchased for me has every thing in it, even pre cut applique pieces. Wonderful.

It's just a matter of following the placement guides in the pattern.

Decide if it's a leaf, a petal, a bud or a stem.

Then applique into place.

The nature of the beautiful batiks chosen for this project do make some of the decisions a little tricky.

I'm sure those two blue leaf//petal shapes at the top are leaves, not blue petals, with a green flower bud? That's the way I went anyway, and I'm not going back now!

I did think about getting a neutral thread for all of the applique....

Nah!! Love working with all the pretty jewel tones and the leaves are all done in green!! 

I don't know if I'll have time to do another block today.

Maybe if I do find crafty time, I'll pick up my cross stitch.
