Some more August blocks

I have been trying to catch up with you all on your blogs and its great to see the variety of blocks being made and received. Such an array of patterns and colours. I have completed my fourth block swap for the month with new member Rosemary. Being a new quilter, Rosemary had not even heard of a churn dash block so had a little trouble finding a pattern, but I have to say she has done a remarkable job.

I have made Rosemary a log cabin block in browns and greens as her choice is natural colours so to me I think grass, trees and earth, and thats how I interpreted this block.

A few members are asking where patterns can be found so I have put a reference in a side bar to a couple of quilting block pattern sites I utilise. Best news is they are free to download. Isnt it lovely how our fellow quilters have put together these sites for us to use.
