Farewell block for a friend

Yesterday I made a farewell block to one of our friends from the ANZA Quilt Group who is returning to Australia.

It was to be made in greys with some colour:

I finished the block but found it a bit bland so I went to it with some fabric markers....

I hope she likes it!

The best part is that the block is actually square and  measures the required 9 1/2  x 9 1/2 inches.

Quite a feat for me!
