Local Quilt Shop's Block of the Month, Blocks 1-6

In January, my buddy and I started a $10 Block of the Month Quilt at the local quilt shop where we bought our sewing machines. $10 for the year. We will be making 12 blocks of "My Favorite Flowers" by Lynn G. Hopeman. Each blocks is 12.5". One day each month we go to a meeting to pick up fabrics and instructions to make a block. During the meeting we are given sewing tips to make the block. In December we will be given the opportunity to buy additional fabric to finish the quilt.
We could chose batiks kits or Kaffe Fassett kits. We chose batiks before we knew that we had a choice of KF. We like batiks and KF. So it's okay.
Top row, left to right, January-Bird of Paradise, February-Double Tulip, March-Clover Blossom. Second row, left to right, April-Double Aster, May-Rose Buds, June-Chrysanthemum. The blocks are to be placed on point in the final quilt top layout.

Very pretty blocks. At $10 for a year - amazing deal. I remember doing a $5 block but it was $5 for each block. Looking forward to seeing how this one ends up.
