I'll definitely post more blocks as I get a chance to work on them! I have fabrics picked out from my stash for the next five or so, but my work schedule tends to be pretty brutal. (Just drove to work in the hurricane. Haha.) I can't wait to work on Genny's Kansas Troubles block. That one has such pretty fabrics!

Another two blocks from this character series! I don't have the names on them yet - I'm waiting to switch around feet again until I have more completed.
The one I'm working on next is going to be soooo pretty! I'm not normally a 'brown girl', but the shades of browns and the sparkly fabrics just make me swoon a little. That one has a lot of HST's though! It's going to take some careful work to preserve points.
For these two...
Yirrl is actually a draconic character - a stubborn sort who favors fiery colors. :P My stash in this range was somewhat limited, but I think it works fairly well with his personality. I've had the large square's fabric for a while now, a present from my aunt in Canada (since I love dragons).
Quinn is a man at odds with himself and I thought it was incredibly fitting that the pattern looks like a bow tie and a hair bow/butterfly at the same time. The white-on-white actually has butterflies on it and I picked it up at a stash-reduction sale from a lady who used it for her Renaissance Festival wedding dress.

Boy, wasn't this one just a little beast to put together... but I loooove the fabrics!
Genny is a young girl, about to become a teenager, with a troubled but loving family. With all the turmoil her character is living through right now, Kansas Troubles seemed pretty perfect. She's a girl who loves browns and honey tones.
