April 30 Block

Today is 120 days and 125 blocks into the 365+ Block Project.  I visited the fabric store, Gay Feather, today and bought some fat eighths of duponi silk in beautiful colors.  I've never worked with silk before.  It certainly has it's own characteristics, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.  Granted, this silk is slightly heavier so I imagine it's easier to handle than sheerer silk would be.  It's certainly gorgeous and lustrous!  (By the way, for all local quilters and seamstresses, Gay Feather is still easily accessible despite the construction on Williamson Street, so be sure to stop in.)

For my extra April block I mixed the silk with cotton batik.... Mary
