February Irene

I'm feeling rather pleased with myself.  Today I have sat down and completed my blocks for February for the Goodnight Irene sew-along.

I thought I'd share my five blocks with you ... actually five and a half ... as a I got carried away with sewing the 2 1/2" squares together!

The X blocks work in progress ...

 

And my three completed X's ...

 

 

I do love how this block works - it is really quite simple to do and so effective.

 

My two completed 2 1/2" squares blocks and the half one that I got carried away with!

 

 

Don't they look lovely and bright (they'd look brighter in daylight too!)

 

And I've been playing with the little triangle bits left over from the X blocks ...

 

I do hate to throw any bit of fabric away!

 

I am loving this sew-along.  The pattern is brilliant, and I found myself browsing jelly-rolls earlier and thought how nice it would look in creams and pale beiges ....!
