This is, without a doubt, my favourite block of the week so far. There’s something about the fabric I used for the centre pieces that absolutely fascinates me. Wendy at Ivory Spring has suggested naming some of these blocks. I love that idea but haven’t a clue what I’d name this one! In some ways, the centre makes me think of butterfly wings.

I’m really excited about starting the Mary Wigham Sampler from Needleprint. As soon as my linen arrives, I’ll make the final decision on thread colours. Right now I’m leaning towards a monochrome effect but that could change. Terri at Purple and Paisley is going to be stitching too!
As of July 1 there are two new Inklingo-related blogs. One is Inklingo Sampler which will have a block every week that can be made using the various Inklingo collections.
The other? The other is Linda Franz’ new blog. Linda is the inventor of Inklingo and the author of the Quilted Diamonds books. Her blog is called All About Inklingo. She has a great sale on right now on one of the instructional DVD’s she has made.
Smudge in what appears to be his favourite place, the chair. He was playing a lot with the straw, the new favourite toy, but there’s no way we can get a picture that isn’t blurry as he’s moving very quickly!

That is one beautiful block! I'm not sure what I would name it. Think I will head over and have a look at the two new Inklingo blogs.

That fabric in the middle lives in my "cat fur" fabric stash. (I have used it on a realistic cat applique.)

I really love these blocks! Everyone is so unique. I notice you press your seams in a circle. Do you find that makes for easier hand quilting?
