Blocks about crime!
 
I'm starting Jury Service tomorrow and have been told that there will be a lot of waiting time and to take my sewing. I thought I'd work on blocks to do with crime, prison, court etc but can only think of Courthouse Steps! Does anyone know about other blocks I could piece while incarcerated! Many thanks!

What a great idea
Here's a few that might fit into the theme;

Patience
Devil's puzzle

What about Drunkard's Path block?

You could always do applique -- scales of justice, prison stripes, police cars, etc.

Someone posted Sunbonnet Sue and the different methods of her death. I think one was a sue-icide. :D

Lucky you! I have done jury duty 6 times and seated on 5 jury trials. It was really interesting but there can be lots of waiting time so take some handwork or a good book!

I just love my hexes so that is what I would take.

Went to quilters cache. There were lots! Here's a few...Ball and chain, beggar's block, Cain & Abel, chain links, courthouse star, depression block, framed, hourglass (doing time), Leavenworth 9 patch, Saint Paul (he spent a lot of time in prison), solitaire, wild goose chase. There were others, but they might have been a stretch, like Jack-in-the-box. What a fun idea and keepsake for your experience.

I just wouldn't choose a block that could in any way be interpreted as having to do with or making a statement about the case.....like "drunkard's path" in a case involving DUI.....Just a thought.
