Ritzy, your blocks are gorgeous. I love the black background with the bright colors. I've really just begun July, have the stems on and working on preparing the leaves. I use Sharon Schamber's technique with glue stick and love it...but there are SO many pieces in this block! I have taken a single photo of my first six and will get them posted one of these days.
I see you didn't put in the tiny circles on the hearts...I'm not either, that's just TOO much. :roll: If there's two of us, maybe the quilt police won't get us. LOL

THERE ARE NO QUILT POLICE ALLOWED IN THE BOM SQUAD!!
For anyone who doesn't want to tackle the teeny-tiny berries, you might want to consider adding a few french knots instead. I did that on my last GRAM SAYS block and it looked great.
With that said, I'm here to tell you that the teeny-tiny berries are definately do-able, just really tedious!

Beautiful block Sandy. The tiny berries really make the block look more detailed and finished.Lyndhurst, Ohio USA - East Side Suburb of Cleveland, Ohio

I am going to add the teeny-tiny circles after it is quilted. I am going to use some iron on metal circles that are just the right size. On my hand applique one I will either do a satin stitch by hand or cheat and use one of the decorative stitches on my machine.Lyndhurst, Ohio USA - East Side Suburb of Cleveland, Ohio

To all of the above that have posted their July block - they are all so beautiful!!!! To the rest of us that have not gotten there as yet - I plan to start by the weekend and I must say that the little teeny circles really add to the overall charm (was tempted to not do those) but we shall see as I get to that point.
Thanks to all for the great tips and info as well.

Ritzy, your block is eye-poppingly beautiful! I love the dark background. And I think your trapunto looks great, too. That's something I haven't tackled yet, altho I purchased some wash-away thread just for that purpose, years ago! :roll:
Sandy, I love your block, it came out great, small circles and all. Congratulations!
I've started my block but i still have a long, long way to go.

Hello Everyone, I've posted my July block as well, for the teeny circle I found a stitch on my machine that was literally a round circle, but it was just part of a stitch pattern, so I just stopped it each time when I knew the rest of the stitch was about to start, it seems it worked out well, and was REALLY fast.
