QB Block-of-the-Month, September 2013 - 54/40 or Fight - Photos

Here's my rendition. This block works nicely when paired with a different 9-patch block - especially a second star block.

The corner patches make a diagonal frame for the second block.

In this quilt, I paired the 54/40 or Fight with the Ohio Star.
(no - not today. i confess to having made this a few years ago for a friend. LOL)

Very nice, one has to look real hard to see the 54/40 or fight block. It is lost in the overall design.

Nice block Patrice. I don't know why I am so taken with 4-patches, but I love them; 9-patches too. They are just so quilty. I absolutely love that quilt.

Triangles, ARG!

Gosh, I should have stayed awake in geometry class. I do not do well with triangles. ;-) Thankfully, this block didn't turn out as crooked as it looks here. It only has one pin holding it. And please ignore the stray threads. BTW, that is dark turquoise, though it looks very blue.

Haven't been doing BOM, but follow religiously. Just wanted to show this one I made for a boom 10 swap buddy... it is my first time making this block and I love it!
