Nice job, Stafar. Good choice of fabric for Qm's.

I just love GramE's fabrics. Beautiful job you did with it, D. And my Book three will be here tomorrow. LOL. too funny. Yes, Libster, you might have to get one.

Some blocks are very similar. For Stafar, I made the Paper Pinwheels block. The squares that look black are actually dark blue batik. Both patterns from Around the Block book 1 & 2. I did order book 3.
Bibliostone, your Star Magic blocks are magical. Wonderful color choices on Libsters. And DarcyShannon's is lovely as well. .

Here are blocks for Libster and Darcyshannon:
Stars by Magic #9 for Libster.

Peaceful Home for Darcyshannon.
Klaws, beautiful job with the browns! I've recently seen both these blocks online now yours make me want to try them sooner than I planned. Great job on both!

The first one is for Joanelizabay and is call Ruins of Jericho from Quilters Cache.

This second one is for Kassaundra. It is called Cherry Starburst #932 in the 1,000 Block book. The picture in the book was red and white, hence the name Cherry Starburst. I found this fabric in my stash and it had Kass's name written all over it. I hope you like it Kass.
D., you are on a roll! Congrats!

The brown blocks being made for you are beautiful. They're providing me additional inspiration for the brown quilt I hope to one day make.

Another donation to the Patriot Guard Riders and another Quadrafoil...Working on "love/peace blocks from previous boom in between picking cactus thorns out of my hands...no matter if I wear gloves or dont touch the leaves I still get little thorns that you can hardley see. My barrell cactus bloomed for the first time today. Only last one day then they die but they are pretty. My aloe plants keep having babies...my nephew is wheelchair bound and likes to raise and sell veg at the farmers market so Im giving them to him to sell if he wants..Ill keep the 8 big ones for more babies.
Yes...

Isn't it funny when blocks don't end up where you planned for them to go? I think they go where they want to go.
