This is May. I loved stitching this, there's something so soothing and relaxing about Kloster blocks and the cut work. The needleweaving on the bars was the Uneven Weave, a new one for me but not hard. The fan stitch (the dark blue in between the needlewoven bars) was also new for me and my first attempt wasn't tight enough, so out it came.
This was another octagon block, so I added the corner fans and klosters to make it square, as I did with February's block.
Here they all are together. Just June to go and I'll be adding "sashing" between the blocks and turning it into a hanging. I can't get any decent photos of this work at all, my camera sees white and turns it blue!

I love seeing the progress on your hardanger. Each block is so pretty and the finished piece will be stunning.
Pretty blue, haha! You're in the home stretch - that wall hanging will be gorgeous when you get the June block done and get it all stitched up!
Very sexy. :)
Looks great. Will be an awesome hanging.
That is a pretty block. You are going to have a lovely wall hanging at the end
Another great block, these are making me think of digging out some Hardanger patterns!
Beautiful, your stitches are so neat and precise, it is a work of art and will make a stunning hanging.
Absolutely beautiful work.
