It must be Sunday somewhere! I am posting my new block a day early, but right now I have computer time, so I am using it...
I think my 3 shades of brown are not different enough. Maybe would have looked better with a bit more contrast. However, it does go right along into my green and brown quilt theme.
Only 6 more blocks to go. I am excited to think I am actually sticking with this project. Yeah!
hugs, Jup

Difergie - love the fabrics in your avatar. I would say the PH blocks are fiddly more than hard. Once you have the foundation blocks sewn, the rest is cutting, pasting and putting a little jigsaw together.
Jup - I always try to remember to take pics of my stuff before I frame under glass. As you can see from my flash glare, I don't remember very often!
Beautiful watercolours. I love your retirement plan - it looks a great place to be. Great addition with the sand and shells.
Wow Jup, you are pulling out all your fancy stitches - they look great.
Facets of Jen is not my favourite block. I also am not happy with my fabric choices but I don't think different fabric would change my opinion about the block.
And YES, it is Sunday here!!

Such talent Deecee and Jupiter! Thank you for posting those paintings - I love to look at all the creative things we do!
Well, since I have it ready and it's Sunday in Australia... ;-) Here is my "Facets of Jenn." Not my favorite either and it has a slight case of wonk - but here it is nonetheless. Our next block seems to be pretty much the same thing but with circle overlays.

Lara, I like your color choices better than mine. Very nice.
... and "Happy Sunday" DeeCee!
hugs, Jupiter

It adds character Irene! Your stars stand out from the background better with your colour choices.
I don't think any of us were particularly fond of this block. Don't look now, but the next one is a little similar.
