These blocks are turning out even more colorful...and interesting...
I refer to this block as my 'Happy' block - LOVE these vibrant colors!

| 'Happy' Winchester block |
Using my choice of fabrics from the Riley Blake/Emma Jane line(s) - mostly from my stash of fat quarters, keeps this project FUN and Challenging - but so far, loving how things are starting to develop.

| Winchester Navy/Red block getting its cover stitches |
I decided to apply ALL the cover stitches to all the green stems followed by leaves of ALL the blocks first, followed by the different floral parts of each block - thus, things are moving along at a bit faster pace, than when I started this project - was that just last week? ;-)

Quite an interesting block, if I do say so. Funny how things work out - I would have NEVER chosen these fabrics and the color combos for ANY quilt 'personally' BUT...they're growing on me.

| Two of 4 blocks in the Kent grouping ready for cover stitches (Thank Goodness for pics - just noticed how off-center two of these flower tops are...Oops! Those are now fixed ;-) |
There are four (4) different blocks in each group - need to take a few more pics and will update this blog posting when I do...back to cover stitching those flowers.
Later,

UPDATE 8/26/2025: as Promised earlier - the following are the finished/stitched down Kent & Winchester blocks. All that is left is to trim to size, planning on doing that prior to final assembly of the quilt. Until then, ALL these blocks will be stored neatly/safely between cork felted design boards in a file folder box for easy retrieval and perusal ;-)
Without further ado:
