It's a good thing I like to make berries! Call me crazy, but I love to make berries. My preferred berry making tool is Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Circles. I used to needle turn them but one side always came out nicely rounded while the other was pointy---that darn bias!
The designer had included a couple of appliqued tendrils but I left them off. My vines are a bit clunky and the tendrils added to the clunkiness so I took creative license. I may ink them later. I also left off the grape stems; may ink them later. Those of you who know me know I am infamous for very little embellishment on my quilts. Heck, I have many poor little birdies with no legs and no eyes. I like to leave the embellishment up to the viewer's imagination.
Here's all four blocks together.
I am working on block #5. I had a plan for the block but nothing worked out as planned. I've remade all the stems, remade flowers, remade the vase. But it's all fun!

Very pretty - the colors are really cool and refreshing!
