Hello and First post

Hi Everyone, I think I must have been one of the lucky last to join this stitch-a-long, so I am a bit behind, but catching up quickly.........
I've chosen to use similar colours to the original, I like the reds.
..........Here are the close-ups.........


I liked using the one colour thread....no changing colours, and less stopping and starting.....great for TV watching at the same time.!!
Better get going on April stitcheries now.............

Isn't it relaxing to just stitch away without having to think about it very much? Good job and I like your fabric choices, especially the lighter one around the birdies

I love your blocks and the colors. I will be sewing the frames on my March blocks tonight. Gotta get caught up.

I'm using one color thread, also and after doing the GJ in different ones, find myself leaving sections unstitched and having to go back and finish. For instance, on the Peace one...I think the star should be gold and the hay yellow.
I like your fabric choices..I'm partial to reds myself.
