Block 1 for the Nine Patch Nirvana Quilt BOM has the intriguing name of Ask and Answer, which is pretty logical! Greatly enthusiastic I cut the pieces for this block last night, and this morning, after racing through the chores, of which washing was the major, I sat at the machine and sewed.
This block came together relatively easy and enthusiasm has not yet departed!
The completed blocks will have the lime green fabric [previous post] sashing, followed by a border of the deep raspberry, then a wide floral border, another deep raspberry, and bound with the lime green ... which should make for a quilt that won't get lost.
Five hours later ...
While still in the mood, I cut, sewed, and photographed Block 2, with the title of Something Borrowed. Sorry I haven't used blue!
I am enjoying making these blocks, which are simple, but accuracy is most important ... accuracy in cutting, and accuracy in keeping ¼" seam. I would be untruthful to state I didn't have to use the quick unpick ~ but one seam needed a second attempt.

Shirl, I just LOVE that block- and the colours /fabric you have chosen is lovely. :) pink and green being my fav colours, too.
Nice block! The colours look even better put together like that.
