Blocks for Quilts for Keeps

This time I am first to finish the project for Crafty Chicks Patchwork group.
Last week we were told that we could start our block using any background fabric for the Quilts for Keeps, Westmead Childrens Hospital quilt.
I found a lovely cream with very small dots of lemon for my background and then looked in my stash for pastel fabrics to make this block as its going to be for a girl. The next quilt the group is making will be for a boy.
The lovely block is designed by Pamela Davis from her quilt pattern Pretty Whimsies from Australian Country craft and Decorating mag
Vol 19 N010.
The block pictured shows four blocks together with the different applique
pieces that make up each small block. The quilt has a total of 64 small blocks which are finished 7 1/2ins.The quilt will be a very scrappy.
