Le Jardin Block 6

I finally got Block 6 finished for Le Jardin. This block gave me fits. My machine kept skipping stitches and breaking the thread for the greys. I'm going to have to go back and re-do some of the applique because the stitches are so messy.
I also managed to be absolutely brilliant! I appliqued everything on to an upside down background!! I think it looks ok still though.

I'm glad I kept going and just changed things a bit. The embroidery took me a while but it's done.

Here are Blocks 5 and 6, which share the clothes line.

I also got the rest of my placemats finished.  I love these!

I got 5 out of the one charm pack and about a yard of fabric. This was one challenge I'm thrilled I tried.
LOL this was a Rouenneries weekend...and I still have Rural Jardin charm packs! muah haha....so much French General goodness.

Placemats!

Setting C was far and away the most popular, sorry Thelma!, so that is what I went with.
 I think they look wonderful! I added a little pocket to put the cutlery in, I don't know why but I love it!

This is one of the things I like about joining challenges is that I am motivated to do things I either have been putting off or wouldn't attempt on my own, and so many of them I am loving!
I made 5 from a charm pack and a yard and a half of fabric, and the best thing? No binding!

Various projects on their way

 I've got Third Wheel done up until the borders, one of which I'm waiting on, so I thought I'd show it off. This started as part of the Cha Cha Challenge but as I worked on it, and did the math etc, I got to thinking I really like this one. And it's easy. And it can be made from charm packs or a layer cake or a jelly roll with yardage for what is white in mine.  Mason is warning you away from "his" quilt, which is whatever is laying where he can get it, and he especially loves unquilted, or soft backed quilts.

 I'm considering selling this pattern. And was hoping for some feedback. Either positive or negative, seriously it's ok to say I don't think it'll sell, just don't be cruel ;)

This is a little kit Little Bit order through Scholastic and she took it to grandma's so she could "sew" all by herself!

Aren't they adorable?? The little book with instructions is still at my mom's but I think she'll be making these again because she was sooo proud of herself.

I'm working on my placemats for the last Challenge and I'm loving them.
I just can't decide on the sides. The main block is 12" finished, and I want the placemats to be 12x18.
Here are the options, which do you like best?
A


B
C

They've given me another design idea for BakeShop, but I have to get the projects I'm working on done before I can submit more lol.
