Celtic Solstice - First 9 Blocks

first 9 blocks

I'm afraid I've been busy working on other things lately that had deadlines, so I haven't had as much time to work on CS as I would've liked. I did get 9 blocks completed and sewn to each other recently, however, and here they are!

I swapped dark brown for the neutrals and pink for the orange. This was a fun mystery (as all of Bonnie's mysteries are!) and I look forward to participating again next year :)

  15. Thank you all for the kind comments. I was really nervous about changing the neutral to the dark brown, and spent more time than I probably should've scouring the local stores looking for the darkest ones I could find that I felt would look right. Will be working on more blocks this coming week :)
