    Here are two of three blocks I have made and have finally gotten photoed for you all. In both the colors are inspired by the original picture posted on the first page, but you will notice that only one block is colored almost exactly like the drawn block pattern. I will have 12 blocks eventually and each will follow the inspiration of the picture, but not all will feature the orange, as there are other colors in that picture as well!

    The corners are actually a Jinny Beyer dark teal rather than black in the first block.
    The 'sashing' is a teal in the second block.
