Carol Doak posted the pattern for her paper pieced Circle of Friends block #4 over the weekend, but I didn't have a chance to work on it until Tuesday. I spent the morning on it.
This time I pretty much followed her color placement because I really liked it. My first 3 blocks all had green in them too, and the green will show up again in other months.
The purple in that top left block looks a bit washed out, but it is the same as the lighter one in this month's block. It's probably just a trick of the light.
I also played a bit with a Maxi Stitch feature on my new sewing machine. This stitch is almost 2" wide, which is much larger than any of the decorative stitches on my previous machine. I stitched this one out long enough to be able to use on a small project that is upcoming. Tear away stabilizer was recommended, and it really did keep things nice and flat.
