Yay... lots of blocks today!
Klaws, LOVE your Aunt Dinah.... it's one of my favorite blocks too. Paired with that lavender batik it looks totally dreamy. Love the Party Hats too. That's a fun block.
Kass, B'stone's block is fussy cutting perfection. Love the circling birds in the center, and the other four are so well balanced. It's beautiful. And yes, I think I can tell what Joan's block will be!
The chicken blocks are too funny. I have some chicken fabric waiting to be a quilt, too. Who doesn't love chickens?

Finished my customer's quilt today, I'm so glad it's done. Straighten up the sewing room in the morning and then maybe start on these blocks again. I'll be kind of confined next week, the North end of our house is getting all new flooring so everything will be torn up....ugh....kitchen, entry doorway, formal dining room, hallway, 2nd utility and laundry room and another bathroom. It's going to be Bar-B-Que or eat out and I'll be in the downstairs. Lots of sewing going on for 3-4 days

New flooring sounds awesome, Jaba! It will be worth the temporary trial that it is...
I have only one done for today. The block is called Marley and is a free PP pattern that I found on Craftsy. But if I were naming this block, it would be "School of Fish". That's what it looks like to me. It's for LJDugas. Hope this is the scrappy look she wanted.

What beautiful blocks everyone is making. I'm stuck on the stripes. Years ago I made a rooster wall hanging, does that count as a chicken block....Finally, the weather is starting to cool, not used to the humidity that were having!

Love that block for klaws, Jayne!
Here are two from me today. First one is for NanaKathy. It's a Red Cross Block, but in this case, I guess we'll call it a Plum Cross Block for her granddaughter RN. Congrats to her, NanaKathy!
Second one is for klaws. It's a Courthouse Star. Whew, glad this one is made.

Libster, my block is great! I especially like the green center. Thank you!
Jayne, I love my block! It is definitely not too busy! Thank you!
Funny thing, I was working on yours today. I'm attaching a picture. It is called Christmas Geese from McCalls Quilting. You can't tell by the picture but the background isn't white. It is gold with gold metallic specks. I enjoyed making it.
This is for JayneW.
