Camelot {block 6}


This weekend was a relaxed hand stitching kind of weekend so I decided to play around with Camelot block 6.  I'm not doing them in order, just whichever one takes my fancy at the time.


My colour scheme is navy, aqua, red, pink and always some newsprint or text fabric.  The Camelot blocks are lovely to play around with and come together pretty quickly. Like many blocks it's choosing the fabric that takes a lot longer than the hand piecing.  Here are my 4 completed blocks so far..


You can find my previous Camelot posts here, the flickr group here and buy the pattern here :)
