Block 4

This is by far my favourite block of 'the quilt'.  Not the sewing because that was quite NOT fun but I love the look of it.  Originally there was going to be another row of petals but I'd had enough after 2.    Also the fact that I don't cut the back out of my applique pieces (shhh don't tell the quilt police) it is quite textured already and quilting will bring out that depth beautifully.

There is another Sunflower block to make that one has a large stem and leaves to balance out the long tulip block.  Then I have to work out how I am going to put it all together which will be really fun because I haven't got that clear in my head yet its still a bit fuzzy... do I put in pieced blocks or just border all the blocks and fill in the blanks.  Decisions..... decisions....
