No surprise that the calendar block for March is a shamrock. And this particular shamrock may have a design option or a flaw – you pick.

It is nice to have all my greens sorted into one bin so finding the squares I needed wasn’t difficult. The cream colour in the corner looks really bad in the photo; it isn’t great in real life either but it isn’t quite as bad I don’t think. I continue to struggle with colour but I’ve learned something from this mistake and, hopefully, won’t make it again.

In a bag of scraps I purchased from a Guild member I found a number of veggie-patterned fabric already put together and ready for a one-block wonder quilt. When I discovered them I put them in my Guild donation bin thinking at some point I might make some placemats for donation. I’d forgotten about them until last month when I used some fabric with fruit on it and thought I could dig them out for backings for these blocks.

It took some work because they don’t go together into a square but I’m happy with the result and I’ll keep using them until they are gone.
