The stars aligned on the Craftsy Blocks of the Month for June.

When the Guild put out a challenge to make placemats for the Meals on Wheels program I thought these blocks would be perfect.
I used fat quarters from the Advent Bag Diane gave me, with a bit of white from my own stash. The borders were added to the blocks to get them to the correct size.
I also wanted to get working on my Craftsy Free-Motion quilting classes. I used one of Leah Day’s lessons for the quilting (small stipple, paisley and spirals).
