Aunt Dinah is for my sister, who will eventually be an aunt :-) I picked Friends star because I am blessed with a lot of friends. This block is just a bit off from the pattern because I didn't print in color and couldn't quite tell which fabric went where, so my own version! Then Arizona because I live here. This block my DH actually likes, so that makes it even better!
Some of the blocks I plan on using are the states we have been too. So enjoy and as I make more, I will post them!

Here are a couple more! Land of Liberty - self explanatory! :-)
Montana Mountain Maze - We only drove thru a little bit of Montana, but it was sooo pretty. Tons of snow on the ground but you could still see the trees.
Colorado Beauty - loved Colorado.
I think I am about done with the blocks. Now it is time to start putting them together!

So here is Nevada's. We have family that live in Nevada. Took me a while, originally supposed to be a 9 inch block so I had to adjust. Glad its done. :-) Turns out I still have 4 more blocks to go. Hopefully will have those done soon.
