Mystery Block of the Month 10

Ok.  This is DEFINITELY my favorite block so far in this project.

Just LOOK at it!  So cute.

I admit to fussy cutting the red floral.  I didn't want big blank spaces of solid red.  There are still a few "bald spots".  But overall I got the look I was going for ... very flowery/blossomy.

And the polka dots in the corners?  Love.

She's from Iceland, you know!  I think that is ... SUPER COOL.  Cool as in totally awesome, not as in polar bears & frostbite.

The block is beautiful! And your fussy cutting really was worth it. Those roses frame the rest so nicely in a bigger flower. Nice!

Yes, that's really the most beautiful block so far! I love this pink-red-grey-white combination. How about this color combo in your next FWQAL blocks?

Agreed. This is my favorite block you've shown so far, too! Love how you engineered the fussy cutting of all those pieces! I have been shying away from using a busy print with some blank spaces and now that I see this - if I just have a bit extra fabric - fussy cutting works wonderfully! :O) Great job! Love this quilt, too! Ok, let's be honest - I love everything you show! You inspire me! ;O) (are you having tea in a nice cup and saucer? It's really ok, you know, to use your nice things! :O)

Although if she from Iceland I suspect she maybe 'cool' in the other respect too!
Gorgeous block, beautifully made as always.
Happy weekend Kristyne,

It's a gorgeous block - the fussy cutting works wonderfully!

I love this block also! I love the polka does, the small print, heck, I love the big print too!! Your blocks are so precise and your embroidery is perfect! I would like to ask - what kind of a camera do you have? I love the pictures you take and since I am in the market for a new camera, I am interested in what you use and how you take your photos.

This is Beautiful! I really enjoy your blog, thank you for posting and sharing:)

I'm curious. Your blog post says it is posted at 7 am on April 12. I just got your post at 7 pm on April 15. And I always get your posts on the day you do them, but not until 6-7 pm. Do you know why that would be?

Krystyne, that red on point sqyare with white spotted taupe around then the tiny spots & rosebuds then blossomming to full blown (skilfully cut) full-blown roses then white real white and the echoing with red corner spots. Wowee. A jewel.

I have never tried a mystery quilt have too many anxious moments/minutes/hours but this is good. The Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever" is burbling along.

Looking forward to the next - bet you can't top this one.............LOL Susan
