Six bullseyes for June

Six bullseyes for June

Here are my six bullseye blocks for this month. It took a few photographic attempts to get the colours a bit closer to reality. I was not as free wheeling as Sophie and used some handmade cardboard templates with the diagonal or 45 degree line marked and lined them up on a pressed diagonal mark on the fabric squares. I also used pins! Love the colours, thanks...

Violets for Old MacDonald Mystery Quilt

Here are my 11 violet blocks from the Old MacDonald mystery quilt. These would have been posted earlier but when doing the layout for the photo I discovered there was only 10. Back to the cutting board and sewing machine. Please note the size of the yellow centres sometimes (most of the time) differs from the specified 1.25 inches. This was because I had previously cut a lot of 1.5 inch yellow squares for larger violet blocks, and did not think...
