Grandmothers Choice #6: Aunt Eliza's Star


I again figuratively tiptoed into Blogger to check out this week's block....   *ahhhh*    ...not too bad!


I'm starting to get a handle on using the Art Nouveux fabrics and, with this large center, I had the perfect opportunity to fussy cut another large flower.

I had (what I considered) a very large 1930s print that I thought I wouldn't be able to use but by jingo!   This was the very block to incorporate that large print!



I had fun at my granddaughter's birthday party yesterday afternoon and have a photo to share of the birthday girl and her new tote...

 
....all in all, a very nice day!

  10. I always especially like the 1930s fabric - so pretty.

    And pretty is the word for that granddaughter, looking very proud of her new tote.
