Here are two more. The cups are for Bibliostone. I did a lot of EPP in the car and was able to put this one together. There are several more of these to come. The second wonky log cabin is for petthefabric
i hope to get three more EPP blocks finished in Omaha. Then lm preparing all the applique blocks. Then on the 2000+ mile ride home Ill cut out the shapes so I can quickly put them together! At any rate its forcing me to be organized.

I love the blocks NZ and Klaws made for me. Very original and the color choices are great. I need to look at the gallery and see what else has been made. This quilt is for my daughter. I think the family will love all the colors in the quilt.
Ooh, i just took a peek at all the MJP blocks. This is going to be a spectacular quilt. Sewbiz I love the print you added. Thank you everyone.
Did I forget to mention we were hunkering down because of a Kansas blizzard?

Fine blocks, Klaws and mjpEncinitas! Mjp, you get brownie points for piecing while in the midst of that snowstorm. DS#2 lives in KS and said it was a doozy. Doozy, my word, not his.
We finished our taxes today. Woo hoo, ahead of schedule.
I keep hoping spring is here but were going back down to the 30s this weekend. Spring comes a bit later here than I was used to in GA.
Have a great rest of your day.

Love both your blocks, NZQ. Ive made Crosstrack several times and always love the way it turns out. (Boy, am I missing making blocks this round.)

in Omaha I have access to my very first sewing machine and put some of them together.
These are from Tula Pinks city blocks. This is a go to block for me when I want to reaLly showcases fabric well. Klaws, sewbiz and Marcialee these blocks are for you, Marcia I usually dread working with pictorial fabric but I loved working with yours. The colors are so rich! And of course I loved the other two fabrics.

Mjp, I think I know which Kansas blizzard you are referring too. We have had several this winter and some of them have been really bad! I'm sorry you had to hunker down in a van for it! That is frightfully cold!
SBG, I like the Kaffe block too. I didn't know if I could pull off the disappearing pinwheel block with three colors, but I was pleasantly surprised!
I only have one more block to make, then it will be clearing off the sewing desks and switching gears to make Easter dresses for my girls! I have this cute old fashioned sailor dress pattern that I think will work perfectly. Growing up I always wanted a sailor dress but never got one.
