Patchwork blocks

Today, is a holiday here in Andalucia, Intercambio is cancelled because of the holiday, so I am having a bit of a holiday too!
I have been making different patchwork blocks by machine
here are some examples

this one is called a 'pickle dish' block. The curves can be a bit tricky to sew, and as you can see one of the corners needs to be redone.

and these little beauties are made from some scrap material ,  I have been cutting out squares of 5cm and sewing them together (properly this time.)

Dave and I are hoping to go to Torre del Mar tomorrow on the bus to get some picture frames and quilt material and backing too, so it will be an earlier start than normal for us.
