I have now finished all my Carolina Lily blocks for the challenge group, and I think that although they aren't all very accurate, they will be fine once they are joined to other blocks. Then I had to find another block to do. (We have decided that one block every two months won't get the quilt finished for years, so have chosen to make two blocks instead!) Since my quilt is an homage to the Sundial Quilt in the V&A, I looked to see if there was a block there I fancied. I came up with this simple square in a square, but with a fussy cut centre.
I had some blue toile which lent itself to the centres, and the blocks went together quite quickly.
Although, I'm not quite sure what is happening in this scene. Is this lady sitting with a crocodile at her feet or is it a rather excessive ruffle on her dress? Any ideas?

Love your Lilies!!! It's a ruffle :-)
your Carolina Lilies look beautiful. I've never made this block, but I've always admired it.
The blue toile' is lovely!
I think the crocodile has eaten her feet but she is too polite to say anything...
Love your Carolina Lilies..they looks fantastic!
Linda I think it is another gathered tier on her dress. She must be quite tall or perhaps walking on stilts?
