Red Monochromatic Block

It's time for the reveal of the block for the month of May, gosh, it's June where has the first half of the year gone?

I love red, I love wearing red shoes, I have a fabulous red handbag that I use a lot, I have red lipstick ( which I love but don't wear often), I have red scarves, red cushions on my bed, but funnily enough not much red in my fabric stash.  When I found out May was going to be red, I thought it would be really easy to find 8 co-ordinating red fabrics. Unfortunately I found a couple of solids, a batik and a couple of left overs from my Strawberries and Champagne quilt but that was it. Luckily for me, Melissa of Clothwork came to my rescue and sent me some pieces of gorgeous red fabrics to help me out.

My daughter also helped me by suggesting I stitch cherries in this bock. I'm really happy with how this turned out.  I'm so pleased I joined this challenge and decided to just do one block each month, it's been easy to continue, I'm really enjoying the process and it's pretty much stress free, as long as I don't leave it to the last minute as I have been known to do. 

I'm definitely going to work on finding some more red fabrics to add to my stash.
