Friday Night Finish

Our Beejeebers queen selected this beautiful half square triangle block for the month of May.  I procrastinated until the last possible days and got the block finished a few minutes ago.

And then, as I was writing this post, I noticed the bowties in the top rows are backwards, so I just unpicked and restitched {again} and it’s fixed now.

It was fun picking through my scraps to find bright colors and prints I like.  My cat Oreo also had fun rolling in the scraps…

Overall, it took a long time to put together, kind of like a puzzle, but the end result is very pretty.

Thanks, Ursula, for picking such a beauty!  I hope you liked the colors and fabrics I picked.

Up next month?  Semi trucks.  I already have a few ideas spinning around!

    One question: In the first photo...what is the Red & pink flower crown fabric next to the blue at the top? I love it!
