Yep I’m lousy at taking pictures too. This block is for Ibex. With her permission I added a quote for each of the four presidents I chose:
JFK if not us who? If not now, when!
Teddy Roosevelt: keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
Bill Clinton: we all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more.
ike: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.

That pp Capitol is awesome, Hav! I am also glad you didn't give up making Boom blocks. You have really found your niche with the paper piecing. You are amazing at those!
Julia, love your block for klaws! Everything is just perfect in that block. I wish I could make 4 points come together in the center that pretty.
Ahwu, the block for B'stone is so delicate and so French! It's lovely.

More pretty blocks have shown up-- from Hav and MJP.
MJ, for me the JFK quote I remember best is the one on the front of my high school: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can so for your country". How things have changed!

Actually it was a toss up between the two quotes but the one I chose spoke to me more. The Ike quote has always been my favorite Presidential quote. So meaningful from our Republican WWII general.

These are two are for my boom partner stcpaw. I got her fabric before I went to Omaha. I got permission from her to use the polka dot fabric.
I worked on these with my little singer 40 year old machine It uses cams to change the stitches. I left it for my daughter and her kids.
