As you can see I haven't ironed or trimmed them yet. 
I haven't stitched in years, so I'm still having trouble keeping my stitches even, but the good news is my fingers aren't bleeding so much from so many pricks, lol. 
I didn't have the correct colors of floss, so I fudged it with what I had, but I think they look great for my first big project in so long! And I'm doing them all on a White-on-White fabric, so I've changed the white flowers on some of the blocks to navy blue.
But it seems to work, so I'm happy. These blocks have been a great beginner project.Once I'm caught up on these, I'm moving on to the Verandah Views BOM by Cheryl at Willowberry Designs. They are gorgeous and a lot harder and more detailed, so I'm sure they'll be a challenge. Plus, I purchased a couple of patterns at Cheryl's Esty store . She has darling designs and some cute, quirky patterns that are perfect for kids.
But now I have to get back to my sewing. Katie says we have projects in the sewing room that need to be completed NOW!
Sheesh! She is such a tyrant some days! So til next time,
Happy Quilting
from Sharon and Katie

Your blocks are so pretty! I wish I would work on these..I've printed them out, but haven't made a single stitch.
Sharon and Katie, those blocks are so lovely and romantic. They take me back to a simpler time. Thanks for sharing them!
