CQJP Challenge 2016: Finished blocks: February and March

Hello! Today I would like to share with you my most recent blocks for the CQJP Challenge 2016. I was a little late with February's block but I finished it during March and I really like how it looks.  I used the same basic block I am using for all my blocks for this year's challenge only the colours of the fabric and are different.

Base block for February

Each block is being embellished with different stitches and ribbons but in a similar style.  I am hoping that they will look pretty when they are pieced together in the final project.  I have not yet decided whether to make one quilt with all twelve blocks or to make three large pillows using fours blocks in each.

Here are a couple of closer photographs of the stitches....

Here is a photo of January's block side by side with February's block to give you an idea of how I want to piece the blocks together.  I will need to add some extra embellishment after the blocks have been pieced together over the joining seams.

I have also managed to get March's block completed too, so I am nearly back up to date again.... just need to start April's block!!  Here is the finished March block....

And, some close up shots....

I am very pleased with how this project is taking shape so far. Have a lovely weekend!
