Beautiful blocks, ladies... the batiks are so rich and beautiful. I love the birdbath block too. Crooked or not it's going to be adorable.
I've been toying with the idea of having some blocks set on point in the center of my quilt, and then some set straight around the perimeter. I'm really torn chosing one way or the other, because I have my favorites for setting both ways. Some just look better on point, and others straight.
