August Block Swap Received

Yesterday I got my block in the mail from Sue!  It's magnificent and SO very me!!  The photo doesn't do it justice at all.



I love that she used a tone-on-tone for the background rather than solid white.  I rarely use solids as TOTs give more interest and depth to a quilt.

Her piecing is so precise (not that I'd care if it wasn't!!) and the feature fabric is gorgeous!  Pale blue with a paisley print on it in greens, pinks and yellows and all the colours I hope to have in my quilt!

Thank you Sue!  I posted your block yesterday so it should come tomorrow!
