#4 Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt so the decision was made to turn them into other things i'd use.

and now i have a cushion cover
a runner
i thought this little block looked like baubles so i added some loops to the top of the blocks & made a Christmas hanging.

this block into a project holder

the mug block into a mug rug
the remaining 5 larger blocks into tablemats as the J block & the cat blocks were separate blocks.
These blocks are what is left. I'm thinking another runner. 

Sadly not much of a dent was made in the B & C stash making these things up. :)

Now to wait & see what number comes up for April

Happy Stitching
