I spent part of Wednesday sewing this months block, Buckeye Beauty I actually sewed the pink one first as I have decided the pattern that they give me, always gives me problems; and as I have more pink material than the black, white and red, I can't afford to waste that material. So here it is:
With the sashings:
This is the first three blocks all with the sashings attached:
This is the pink and cream one:
Here are the three pink and cream blocks. I haven't attached the sashings yet, as I haven't got the material picked out yet. I don't think I have enough material for the sashings, as it takes 1.2 metre's per colour, and I need 2 colours. What colour's do you think will look good for the sashings?
It was a lot colder on Wednesday, had to put the fire on just after lunch as dh was saying he thought the house hasn't been as warm. Meanwhile I was sweating buckets...........oh the joys of those hot flashes!!!

The blocks are looking great. I'd pick greens or burgundies for the sashing if it was me. For the greens I'd have a dark one and a lighter one. Almost the same with the burgundies. Can't wait to see it all finished.
As to those hot flashes, a cold drink of orange juice does the trick. Sure worked for me. Hugs
