4 blocks...............


I haven't sewn the 9 pieces for the blocks together yet.  I'm trying to decide if I want positive/negative blocks or all alike in value placement.  I'll sew more of the 4 triangle squares together so I can play with more blocks on the design wall.




All 4 of the buds are open now on the red Amaryllis.










This one is such a pretty shade of red too.








The orange blooms are so pretty too.  A few more buds should be open today or tomorrow.

I kinda like that positive-negative thing you've got going on. Just sayin'...

That block is fabulous, but so many triangles! Your plants are blooming so nice. What a great pop of color to see everyday!

I love it both ways. Love all of your fabric choices too.

I bought boxes of Amaryllis for presents this year and the other day remembered I bought one for myself. I opened the box and one very pale stalk was growing. Hopefully, it will green up in the window.

You’ve got quite a decision to make on your ‘Cut Glass’ blocks. Both look positive and negative look great. I know you’ll create this piece with your usual pizazz.

This is the first time I bought Amaryllis ever and it was a pkg. of 3 Amaryllis at Costco. Gave 2 away and kept one. The gift plants ~ their stalks and blossoms were like yours. Mine had very short stubby stalks but lots of beautiful blossoms. It was fun to compare the growth from all of them. I decided our tinted windows didn’t allow enough sun for mine… maybe.

P.S. What I thought I typed …. till I looked again tonight …. I meant to say, ‘Both positive and negative look great !’
