block(s) for Jacquie (and Jon)

so I made my block for the next month of the quilt bee today. I opened the fabric when I got it, but didn't take a close look at it. today I laid them out, and I was really struck by the deer paint-by-number fabric, so I decided to showcase it in the block. I use the blue linen as lines between, to look a bit like a windowpane maybe.

I decided to make a second block with the scraps:

I hope Jacquie (and Jon) like these!

For Jacquie

I sewed this up yesterday - I already had Denyse Schmidt on my mind since I was sewing up this quilt and of course, Project Improv.

I hope this is what your son was envisioning Jacquie.....I was a little nervous about this block. I wanted to make sure I got it right.

I left it at 16" so you can cut it down when you get it (so it wouldn't fray too much).
