I cant quite believe that it is time to introduce block 7 (placed on this grid). Writing these posts about this quilt have fallen into a routine and they now seem to mark my days. Another block makes me aware of another block of time which has passed.  

This is a pretty block which many people have said they like so I hope you enjoy the close description of it over the next couple of weeks.

As you can see this block is a 7 piece block

Fabric content:

Piece 1: Polyester cotton mix found in a swatch book scavenged from a curtain shop here in Canberra.

Piece 2: Polyester after five wear received in a swap.

Piece 3: Polyester scrap from a theatre costume  

Piece 4: Under the lace is cotton 

Piece 5: Polyester cotton mix found in a swatch book.

Piece 6: Silk from a dress I made Eve (my daughter) 

Piece 7: Polyester cotton mix found in a swatch book.
