I almost didn't complete the June block for my monthly "Yours, Mine and Ours" quilting class. My shoulders and neck were feeling pinchy and sewing did not appeal at all. But, at the last minute, the night before the class, I decided to make the donation block. And, it ended up going so smoothly, I made a block for myself too!
The June block was called the British Columbia Dream.
My Block
My Donation Block
I am running out of blue fabric and didn't have enough to do all of the points for my donation block in one colour, but I really like how the alternating colours turned out. It gives the block a bit of pinwheel effect.
Some of the ladies from my quilting class have started to piece together the blocks we have made so far. The toppers will be donated to Victoria Quilts Canada, who will put the finishing touches on the quilts. Victoria Quilts Canada gives finished quilts to individuals with cancer. What a great organization!
You can see the toppers that have been completed here. Can you spot my blocks?

I've looked at the watering can fabric in your first block SO MANY TIMES in the shops. I love it!
I can't believe that fabric is still available! Mine is from my stash and I think I purchased it about 10 years ago!
