Hi everyone, Just checking in to let you know I survived Irma. Just got power back this evening, but no major damage. Just yard debris and some damaged fence. My house is intact and freezer food is still frozen solid, so I dodged the bullet! Just need rest. I'm exhausted and should sleep well tonight, now that the A/C is working and I'm back in touch with the rest of the world via internet! Janet

All the blocks are looking so good, great job ladies.
Just Jan, I know you've been extremely busy and may have forgotten, but didn't you have a block you would like to post? I asked if you could wait until the 15th to do so - it's time if you remember which block it was.. ;o) If you don't remember which block it was I can post one. Hope all is well with everyone now.

Here is the block I was talking about. It's called "Light and Shadows." Its an old block by Nancy Cabot. Its made using 3" strips.
Cut One Focus square 3 x 3. From Pink cut two 3 x 3 squares and two rectangles 3 x 5 1/2. From green cut two 3 x 3 squares and two 3 x 5 1/2 rectangles. Sew the center four patch. Sew a rectangle to each side of the four patch. Sew a square to each end of the remaining rectangles. Sew one strip to the top and one to the bottom following the picture for the color color placement.
The focus square can be print or a different color solid, and the rest of the squares and rectangles are as listed in complimentary colors to match the focus square. For example the focus square here could be floral as shown or could be dark/hunter green solid. Any color combo works as long as you just use three colors. Enjoy.
