Work in progress

Hi friends,


here is a sneek peak of my blocks to Doris. She is my swap partner for April in the Quilt block swap Australia. I hope she likes them. Next week they will fly from the Azores to Australia.



Next I show you another layout for my Civil War Blocks of the week with the neutral blocks. I am not shure if they stay out enough. Probably I should add more blocks, next week I will have time. What is your opinion?


Thanks and hugs. Pink
