May and June blocks

Great to finally have sewn together May and June and added to the rest of this beautiful quilt!  I'm really enjoying stitching this quilt!  It's getting harder to photograph!!!



I changed the pattern to add "my dog" rather than the cat (taken from a Lynette Anderson design)


Best friends!


And I changed the sewing block by piecing three foundation pieced squares at the bottom and sewing them into the actual block and I added buttons to the tops of the cotton spools!   A fun row to have finished!!   All the blocks are ironed on for July and August .... ready to stitch!!   I can see the end in sight!  Great to see the wonderful progress everyone is making on their quilts!  Come on girls .... let's do Chooky proud and have a great run home!!  .......
