"And Sew On" Blocks

I am caught up with Kristi@Quiet Play's paper pieced BoM called "And Sew On"!  I'm making my blocks with a layer cake of "Sew Stitchy" by Aneela Hoey and my grey dotted background is from "Ruby" by Bonnie & Camille.

May's block is called "Keep Calm and Press On". Isn't it cute? I always seem to make a mistake when doing these blocks - this time it's a dent next to the iron that should be ironing board pins instead of background.
And here is "Snip it Real Good" for April. I still need to embroider my thread curling down through the scissors. No mistakes on this block!
 5 blocks done and 4 to go...
The end result will look something like this. A few of the remaining blocks make me think I'd better start them  as soon as they are released... they look like multiple day projects! I have some yardage of the pins print on white that I'll be using for my sashing.
I'm linking up May's block - click HERE if you want to see more of them.

  2. Love your use of the fabrics! It makes me want to redo all of mine (it's hard to be inspired when you're not loving your fabrics). I had trouble finding the error in your block even when you mentioned it so I wouldn't worry about it too much :)
