My sewing machine came back from it’s service so I’ve done some RSC stitching this week, just taking my time over several days. My cobblestone strips of blue and cream were cut one day, assembled over the next day or two. Nice easy blocks to put together, and they always look so good, I think. I don't have all the colours of the rainbow in my big bag of batiks, so I'm just using what colours I have.
Blue and cream cobblestone blocks
You may remember that I’ve also been stitching simple little boat blocks for a boys donation quilt for RSC as well. This time, instead of stitching more blue boats, I stitched some sea creatures instead. After a look on Mr Google, I found a design to trace for a whale and dolphins frolicking in the sea.
Applique blocks to go with my boat blocks

Jenny, your Blue and cream cobblestone blocks look so lovely. Gorgeous batiks! Your playful whale and dolphins caused me to smile. How fun this quilt will be.
You have a wide variety of batiks which all look great together in your cobblestone blocks. The whale and dolphin blocks will fit right in with your boats
