| Outlined Plus blocks |
If you have not seen the Outlined Plus pattern by Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs, look at her adorable mini made from Cotton + Steel fabrics.
I am also using all Cotton + Steel fabrics for my blocks. The backgrounds of all my blocks are from a Cotton + Steel Stash Box which I showed previously in Sunday Stash #4 plus a few others added in for good measure. I am outlining all my plus signs with a dark navy, Ghost Saltines, from the Cookie Book collection by Kimberly Kight. The plus signs are 3 different limes/greens. Two of the prints are from the Mochi collection by Rashida Coleman-Hale in lime, Mochi and Dottie's Cousin. The other is from the Basics, Dottie in Goldilocks.
I have not yet decided how many more blocks to make. My design wall was occupied, so here are the 9 completed blocks on the floor.

And here, where the plus sign was fussy cut from Mochi in lime.

And one final picture with the blocks clothespinned to a line hanging on the barn. And you would be right if you count only 8 blocks instead of 9 here. Somehow I left one behind when I took the picture.
