Squared Up Sweet Pea Blocks

Well, I worked quite a lot yesterday on my Sweet Pea blocks (Make Life fabric collection).  I had to take a break after I had a little accident with the rotary cutter....I am fine, just stupid.  Have no fears!  Anyway, in the evening I returned to finish up my blocks. 

I am suppose to applique 8 flowers on here.  Do you think it is going to be too busy?  I have a fq of the yellow fabric I was going to use.  I was going to buy some of those coordinating buttons for the centers of the flowers.  I think it is cool that this line has matching buttons.

That is too sweet!!! I'm glad you're ok - I love my rotary cutter but they do scare me, lol. I love the quilt, just the way it is, but I think applique on it would be wonderful too!

Oh, Ouch! Those rotary cutters can be naughty! I've gotten bitten a few times before for not paying attention!

Oh the joys of the rotary cutter ... never take your attention from them, they're like toddlers, aren't they? Glad you're okay.

Love your quilt ... I think it'll be great with or without the applique!! Can't wait to see your finished quilt :)
