NYB Practice blocks

I have often admired the NY beauties and even contemplated ordering the book. But somehow I thought that perhaps the patterns would be too complicated for me. Until I found The BOM at Quilter's Corner Club.

Here are my practice blocks:


I quite like the dark sky on this one. The fabric was purchased at the shops near Ranch0. Since it was my practice blocks I simply used the fabrics already sitting out at my sewing table.

The light blue batik fabric was purchase on a Guild trip to Khaleeda towers near Batha. Janet organized a bus and Judy lead the way to the shops there.






I didn't think I did too well with the color combination on this one. I simply rummaged through by scrap tins and found several fabrics to put together.


I was however very pleased with my practice blocks and it inspired me to embark on the project.

Wish me luck!
