May block beginnings

Just wanted to show my May block as it looks when first pieced. In looking at some of my finished blocks for this CQ, I realized that I love the look of some lace on the blocks, so I'm planning on adding a bit of lace, perhaps on the seam of the gold fabric in the lower left corner.

This block is going to represent the trip Mike and I chaperoned in 2010, with high-schoolers from his school. We went to Italy and Greece. You can see the little black dots in the white center patch. Those are little guides for my beading; I'm going to use gold beads to make a little Parthenon.

Happy stitching!
