I'm far enough along on this block now that I can take a breather and do some work on my cottage motif and finally get back to my CQI Challenge block which I have missed dearly and am sooooooooooo far behind.. It will take days to get back into the groove on that one... When something sits for months I lose my whole train of thought...
As I continually add more of my focal colors - green, pink and cream - the colors themselves begin to form a pattern on the block... It will be bits of blue which will move your eye around... I'm waiting for an inspiration on how I want to embellish the lace - lower right.....
Ritva send me a picture of a lovely old yellow church in her town.. I always think of that church when working on Ritva's blocks.
And if you make a motif long and skinny enough, can you call it a seam treatment??? LOL

Really loving this block Gerry! Gorgeous!
I love the work you do. It's so perfect and beautiful, I only hope one day I can be half as good!
And if you make a motif long and skinny enough, can you call it a seam treatment??? Girlfriend with your skills you can call it anything you want. I love how the blue does carry your eye around the block.

This block is quickly becoming a gorgeous piece of art. I'm enjoying the progressive posts. Connie
Oh Gerry! I cannot sleep when I am thinking the gorgeous work you are doing on my block! This is a piece of art really! I admire your intensity to plan the colors and seamtreatments so that the block will be extremely balanced and there are so much to look around the block. I have lots to learn from you! Thank you for this possibility to follow the progress!
