Bright fantasy flowers, part 1

Tonight I have been working on some blocks for a swap in the Scandinavian fabric swap group. This particular swap is " bright coloured fantasy flowers on black background". For this I'm supposed to make two different flower blocks for each of the participants - we are seven in this particular swap. This is my first set:

Each flower is made up of six fabric circles slightly overlapping. I've used fusable interfacing and appliquéd them using a button hole stitch. Hopefully the ladies who recieve them will be pleased, and they will blend well with the others' blocks.

Unfortunately I ran out of interfacing so I haven't been able to do my second set. I have some sketches for ideas of what to do, and I have pulled the fabric from my stash, so hopefully I'll be able to make them in a short time - so stay tuned for part 2 :o)

Hope you have had a creative evening as well, sincerely
Anne Ida

You had a very good idea for the first set and I am looking forward to see what the second set will look like. I find the colour combination black/red-orange great. Take care.

Hello Anne Ida,
I just found you via Meggie (Life's free treats) Your blocks are lovely. I have been back to the beginning of June and you have been a very busy girl. I loved reading your hiking story. The photos are great and the sky so blue. It is so cold here in Australia at the moment. I would love to see some blue in the sky for a change.
I will return to visit again soon.
Cheers for now,
Jenny
