Around the Block - July

For the July Around the Block swap Jan from Sewjourn  sent out a bundle of fabric including pre-cut borders to make three 8.5 inch blocks.  For the center of each of the blocks Jan asked for "simple but interesting". 


The pre-cut borders for each block were a different width, therefore each of the pieced centers varied in size accordingly.  I particularly enjoyed the challenge of fussy cutting whilst making the most of limited fabric.


I truly love simple and interesting and look forward to seeing Jan's finished quilt.

I also enjoy browsing the Quilting Bee Blocks Flickr Group -  loads of block ideas!
