If you are up for it, how would you like to have a block challenge?? The rules? Do the above block, following the pattern - do just one or, if you want to try another - fine! The only colors you can pick from are off-white, black, pale green, peach and small print brown. You can "tweek" the pattern by putting the lights where the darks are, and vise-versa.

The idea came to me watching F&P Saturday. Lets see how many different varieties we can get using only ONE pattern and just rearranging the colors. Got it? Deadline to post YOUR block or blocks will be ....hm........July 6th! Are ya up to it??

Don't take this personal but doing this over the 4th weekend, is going to be hard for some. Family coming in and everything. Maybe if you could give it till the next wk. It might work out better for most of us.
Just a thought. I like the idea!!

I would love to do this, but I wouldn't be able to post anything. I've got graduation pictures on my camera and something happens everytime I try downloading pictures to my computer and the disk corrupts and I loose everything. Until I figure out something, no picture postings! :roll: Lost all kinds of great pictures of my son!! :cry:

I'll be doing good to get my Funky Neighborhood blocks done by July 1st. After that I'm going to rest awhile. DD is going to church camp that weeks so ...... Sorry but at this time no, I just can't. Sounds like fun though.

Don't think I have the peach and I don't dare go near another fabric shop anytime soon! May try substituting a pink/yellow print for the peach...

Sounds fun, like the block, but I've got family coming in on Thusday and staying for the first of the week. No time for anything but getting ready for them. Love having company, but did you ever notice that when you know guests are coming, suddenly everything looks so dirty? LOL Maybe I should clean more and QB a little less???! NAH!
