I watched the movie this morning ... an older version that's supposedly very close to the book. There really is a HUGE variety of blocks that could be made! So far I'm working on:
The Queen of Hearts (posted a pic of it previously)
Roses being painted red
A cupcake with a notation that says "Eat Me"
A mushroom with a blue caterpillar on it
Plus a couple of others that I'm still contemplating
Ya know ... when I joined this forum almost 2 years ago, I sure never expected that I'd make a block that says "Eat Me" on it! LOL!

I just got some fabric with playing cards on them I was thinking of using for some simple blocks. I'm also digitizing some images for embroidery. I found a bunch of tea pots and cups I was thinking of using as a reference for the "mad" tea party with mad hatter, march hare and the door mouse(?).
I was also thinking of raw edge applique for a caterpillar
What's everyone else thinking?

I'm beginning to think that this would be a fun quilt to have when a grand-daughter comes to spend the night. What background colors are the rest of you thinking about? I'm thinking black would show off everything very well.

Okay, here are my 4 sets. The blue caterpillar/mushroom block is 12-1/2" square. The "Eat Me" cupcake block is 6-1/2" square. The Queen of Hearts is 6-1/2" square. And the rose/paintbrush block is 9-1/2" wide by 6-1/2" tall. I probably won't make any more sets except for my personal use. I just wanted to get these done before the Boomerang swap starts. Thanks for letting me play.

Thanks! Yes, they're all finished, but only because I happened to have a few free nights to sew, plus I needed to "escape" from some stress. I've got a ton of stuff on my mind right now ... mainly trying to get the insurance stuff straightened out so we can replace DH's hailstorm-totaled truck. Sewing is one of my "escapes".
