February finished....................

The theme for February was butterflies and lavender... and it was a fun block to work on... I'm enjoying the colors and all the lace...my comfort zone.  I mentioned when I posted the other day that the block was  out of balance with so much interest on the right side.

The fix for this problem is quite easy and I will probably do it before I assemble the project in the fall..
All I have to do is make the lavender plant on the left of the cottage about twice it's size and add some darker purples. You can see what it would look like with a little photo editing..

I think you are really having fun with this year's CQJP. You're way ahead of schedule. I had someone tell me I needed to go out and have fun - meaning to her to go to the bar and have a few drinks. She just couldn't understand that to me, having fun is staying home and crazy quilting and sewing. I'm never bored and never have to deal with drunks - works for me :)

Beautiful block Gerry and so interesting to see how it will look with stitching the lavender slightly larger. The silk ribbon lavender looks fantastic.
