embroidery progress

I have the five little stitcheries from Jenny of Elefantz finally finished.  A friend lent me a pattern for four others that were the right size that i could add to it, as i was searching for quilt ideas.  So they are almost done. I bought some pretty material yesterday so have made a start at putting some blockes togther.  Here are most of the little stitcheries for you to see, and my first two blocks.  it will be a simple idea; just nine log cabin squares, sashed with something that I am yet to decide on and then hung on the wall.

I wasn't sure last night about my choice of fabric but this morning it seems to have come together (with some help from a friend; thanks!!!). Do you ever just want someone else to look at something with fresh eyes and give it an opinion?  I asked DH to look last night but his opinion was that none of the fabrics actually matched anyway!!
I think it should come together really nicely. Mind you, the first block was pulled out twice; once because i decided my strips were way too wide.  Now they should go together quickly.

Please excuse the photo quality; it is very dark and dreary here today so getting nice photos is difficult.

  3. They are absolutely glorious Karyn, such soft, sweet colours, and you are on a winner with the log cabin framing. I think it will be beautiful when all together. Little lesson learnt - don't trust the hubby's opinion!! You must trust your own ability more, it's there, believe me.
