Wool Crazy- Block One DONE!!

Here is my first block of Wool Crazy. When I got the book it looked to me like JoAnn did two blocks spring and summer and two blocks winter and fall. I liked that idea and started with the spring/summer.
This is probably the plainest block of them all and may have to add a few ladybugs or bees down the line.

I saw another bunny chasing a clover and thought that was so cute. I hope the maker doesn't mind I copied her idea.


I still need to add some buttons to the little patchwork quilt








I'm hoping to get the next block foundation prepped within the next couple of weeks. This is so much fun to work on. It seems like I'm figuring the stitches out OK and overall it doesn't seem to matter too much anyway.
I'm off for a work weekend at my dad and stepmoms. They are trying to get their house ready to sell so they can be closer to family. I hope the weather holds!!
Have a wonderful weekend.

I love your block - just fantastic!
I was quite taken with this quilt too and joined the BOM a couple of months ago, but haven't started yet. You have inspired me to get going!
