One down !!!!



First block finish for me and I'm very happy with my fabric choice but like everyone else choosing fabrics seems to be the hardest part of quilt making, nice to have a good start though.



Having cut a lot of the fabric pieces for this quilt I thought they might get a bit lost so the zip lock bags came in very handy, still have a bit more to cut yet though.
