disappearing patch block
I am so worked up about starting a patchwork project as I haven`t a clue what I am doing but today after finding some instructions on the web thought I would have a go at a block using a batik charm pack that was lurking in a box. Well it went better than I thought it would, made 3 blocks which have now been cut so have 12 6" ones to assemble. Not sure about how to put them together, they are spread out on the kitchen table at the moment but will not rush, I expect they will go back in the box for a while and maybe arrange them when I am with a patchworker, have a very dear friend Cheryl who lives in London, hoping she will come and stay a while as she is very good with everything to do with patchwork and stitching of all kinds.Of course I want her to come anyway, sounds like I only want her for her talents!! no way I have known her since we both lived in Manchester in the 1990`s.

They're beautiful! You should be quite pleased.
What a lovely patch set.There are loads of tutorials on the web.I found the Missouri Star quilt co has many very useful You Tube videos. The lady is very friendly in her delivery, and has lots of tips.
good on you having a go at this!
This arrangement is stunning as it is! You have all the right to be pleased with yourself.
Stunning ! I'm totally fond of these colors !
Fabulous colours. Looks great
The colors just jump off my screen! Beautiful!
It is so appealing and jumps into ones eyes from far away. It is already very good looking and I hope you will go on or really start with it. The fabrics are wonderful.
Love these colours - and your brooches are so sweet too.
WOW! You've done a great job pulling such luscious colors together - I love your blocks! Batiks can be so much fun to use. When putting them together I find that if you use black as a trim it really makes everything pop and come together. Wish I lived closer to you to come ove rand play!
Your fabric looks so wonderful Margaret! Look at all those beautiful colours! Your patchwork project is going to be fabulous I'm sure.
A great start for your new project! I like the brilliant colours, they are eye catching. Good reason to be pleased with yourself, Margie!
No, it doesn´t sound like that at all, you only appreciate her talents. We all should do that, all have their talents and if your friend is into patchwork, why not?
The fabrics look very good, colourful and springlike.
