    Amazing blocks! I love the colors in windblown square. Thanks for the informational comments about Canandian windmills! Great job!

    Oh fantastic blocks; the sky fabric was just perfect, Jan. Now you know why you kept it! I envy you as you have are winding down your adventure. QE, just marvelous blocks. Like you we have the prairie giants whisping in the wind just to the west of us in flat land. (Our farm is just at the very edge of the Driftless area where the last glacier didn't scour all the rocks away.) The long arms are much like the windmill blades of the block.
    I am currently working on another windmill "block" in my doll quilt for the DQ swap. Certainly not as structured as these as I'm taking a plunge into "liberated" piecing. AKA not caring if anything matches up!!

    Finally getting busy - tho a couple years after the fact. Lots of traveling this past year, a downsize, & an out of state move. Starting to settle into a new chapter in my life.
