For those of you who are interested in the pattern and the Block of the Month, it was designed by gal288, a member of this board, and it is posted at http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-97786-1.htm (original thread) and the second block is posted at http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-105888-1.htm
There are lots of pictures on those threads of people's blocks to look at - they are all the same pattern, just different fabrics and techniques.

Yours are really different and uniquely colored - I like them.

awesome job...can't wait to see the finished quilt...
