Baltimore Elegance Block


Crossed stems with slightly wacky yoyo roses.
Fortunately I am not a perfectionist but as the day progressed and I finished the stitching and made the roses and centers I began to really like this block inspite of its flaws. It is an earnest sort of block-a block that means well. And I do like it . Really I do.

I see why you like this block. Looks just right with those colors.

Oh, and Happy Anniversary, that is a big deal.

I love the sunshine in this block which is most fitting since roses won't grow/bloom without a good deal of it.

Thank you for the visit and comment on my weblog. I'll be revealing 10 lake scenes before the day ends.
