Block A completed!!

I have finally sewn together Block A and hopefully am now on track! I cut the potting shed a little short so have lost the bottom of the pot - but not to worry! Will now get busy on stitching the next block so I can be "on time" for the end of June! It really is inspiring to see the colours and blocks completed by everyone! Thanks for the inspiration ladies!

When I trace my blocks I put a dot in the corners of the cutting line and a dot in the corners of of the sewing line. I am also using a scant 1/4 inch.
Your block is so cute...don't you just love the butterfly. My grandaughter draws her butterflies with faces. Lee

I had a problem with the cutting in the beginning. I had drawn the line, but washed it away when I washed the blue marking off...Now, I cut my pieces before I was off the ink...My weather vane was a little short, too. I like your colors, especially the one with the roses.
