Nancy I can't believe what a difference that embroidery made. I wouldn't have thought it would show up so much. The block is very pretty.Lyndhurst, Ohio USA - East Side Suburb of Cleveland, Ohio

It's really cute.
I will be doing the fuse and raw edge applique. I'm almost done Jan and Feb is done. Will start the March one this weekend.
My background fabric - well money is tight and I just couldn't spend more $$ on fabric at this time so I took all my beige fabrics in my stash and cut 91/2 in squares and sewed 4 together to make a large 4 patch 2 light 2 dark, makes it a bit more interesting.
Will post pictures of Jan and Feb when done. Thankfully I do have a lot of cream/beige fabric, just not a big square of it. I did put all 12 blocks together and basted the edges on all of them so I have been busy with that portion of it.
Isn't that what we originally started quilting with - leftovers... time to put them to good use.

Wow! that really made your block pop. I love how you added the stitch onto the leaves too. You might want to do this to more of your leaves.Originally posted by ntrquilter

Margo, you are a wizard. I love the March blocks. I plan to do more embroidering on Jan and Feb...not a lot, but some. I think it turned out o.k. on March and I have had such good feedback from all of you. The blocks are really fabulous from everyone.

Margo, thanks for putting the blocks on your blog! Seeing them all side by side is so exciting!Comment

Damaris, I love your March block! The way the patterns and color interact, I can almost see the rose vines swaying in the breeze! And is that breeze a beautiful spring breeze? :wink:

I finished my March block tonight. I haven't started stitching any of them down yet because I'm not sure how I want to do the raw edge yet or how to quilt the blocks.
I'm sorry I missed notes to some of you but all the blocks are fantastic! My mom had a heart attack Monday so I'm behind on everything in my life right now and my dil starts radiation on Wednesday so I'll be driving to appt's 5 days a week for 6 weeks.
Looking forward to April's block now!

Cathy...your block is beautiful, and is a beautiful way to deal with the emotions you are going through right now. We are so sorry to hear about your mom, and hope she has a full recovery. And also hope that your DIL gets through the radiation with minimal side effects.Originally posted by stitchnstroke
Don't forget to take care of Cathy. There are a lot of people depending on you!
Sincerely,
Margo
