FNWF

What a lovely sunny day it is today . I thought I would update you on the result of my Friday Night With Friends.  
It was so hot last night I decided I would have a lovely long glass of Cider as I was sewing to cool me down.
I managed to get a couple of things done.


A thimble pip that will be going into my gift box.


I also made these three blocks. I'm using them for a runner for my blanket chest. I'm hoping to finish it at some point this week.


I love the crisp clean look of the block. I'm not sure what colour to use for the borders any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

I hope everyone who joined in had a productive evening.

    Pretty, pretty blocks! You are right, they are fresh and crisp. You know me: I would border with red, but there are many other choices, too.

    LOVE your blocks, Mel - how about navy for the border? It looks so crisp & fresh in the blues. Looking forward to seeing it all done. Xx

    Your block looks fabulous, I just love it. I have trouble picking bindings too ....um maybe blue in a shade between what you have.

    Lovely blocks, Melanie - I another vote for blue borders - keep it simple.

    Hope to see you at the Christmas QAL at the weekend.
