MJP - thank your husband for such wonderful inspiration and I thank you for making it! I am loving it!
Terri - will get the blender going!
This block is for theMerkelFamily. I have named it hot wind. As I was finishing picking all the paper out of the back, the furnace went on , and the pieces went fluttering all over! Kaffe patterns are my nemesis. Its beautiful, but I am OCD and have to push myself to work with the colors and patterns. But thanks to the booms, I am overcoming it, one block at a time. Hope it is what you wanted.

Oh my gosh! My 1st gorgeous block 
Thank you so very much TG - I love it! Perhaps Kaffe fabrics, particularly these large flowers, may seem to be a challenge but my idea was to just cut them up and add in whatever you wish - a Kaffe Scrappy of sorts? With Kaffe - anything goes!
I think you've outdone yourself here and I'm very appreciative! Thank you so much! Now, did I hear we were serving up gin & tonics?
MJP - Fabulous block - love everything about it! Hmmm.. what to do with strawberries??

Well I was suppose to work today, but on my way in my car over heated. I was able to limp it back after it cooled a bit. It has a "Dr's" appt later, but it gave me an extra sewing day. I started on (and finished) MJP's block.
I was able to get 8 repeats from the F8 and was able to get this block

I noticed after getting the 45' triangles cut that I had two stacks of half 45' triangles that were mirror imaged, so what's a fussy cutting addict such as myself suppose to do, just ignore that!!!!!!!! Well of course not. Here is the second block I was able to get from the half triangles.

I promise this is purple, almost exactly the color of purple in the print, but my inside lights and flash always turn purple blue.

Great job, that's a lot of print but it doesn't look muddy or distracting.
