Blogger Girls Quilt of the Month II -- my blocks

Sewing blocks for the quilt along:  It's not easy to pick the fabrics for these blocks because I can't visualize how they will look when pieced together so it was sort of a gamble.  I decided to go with the cherry fabrics and pulled out some other fabrics that hopefully coordinate. 
 



 The blocks turned out pretty good but now figuring out the sashing/finishing is another challenge!

 In case you want to join in, directions for these blocks are found at Open Gate Blog
