April Two's Company Blocks

Stephanie of Peas in a Pod chose the cousin of the Cathedral Window - the Secret Garden - for her block in the Two's Company Quilt Bee for April.
Both of these are all new to me, but I had a fun time making them.  
Stephanie provided the white squares and each member was asked to add red fabric for the center.



The original white square starts out at 8 inches and the individual Secret Garden finishes at 3 3/4 inches.

Off they go in the mail to Stephanie today.
This should be a very fun quilt.

Catherdal block is on my list to learn how to do. I don't think I would make a whole quilt with these blocks. maybe just a pillow cover or something. Very nice, Mary.
