This block and one I had already made (posted way back in the first page, I think), both incorporate the green zig-zag fabric. Notice that the stripes are in a different position in each block. This happens when you choose a different base line to start cutting from.
look at the green fabric and see the difference in where the stripes fall

thanks Kitsie. I am loving this project. I have 16 large blocks now, and 6 smaller blocks. The end result will be 16 large and 16 small. I have to say that each new block is my favorite. There have been (rare) blocks that have gone together in three hours (start to finish, including cutting) with no seams needing to be redone. JOY! This new quilt is going to be better than my avatar. Believe it or not, I had not mastered the 1/4" seam at that time. Can't wait to see if anybody else has tried a block. Plus, I still would love to see the fabrics you all have picked out!

Here's a few pictures of what is done so far.
I need to give a special thanks to Athenagwis! We met in person the other day to trade fabric. Sweet, sweet lady! She is collecting oranges, and I asked for purples in return. Although I'm collecting purples for a different project, one scrap piece she gave me was a STRIPE, so I had to put it in this project. :D
there is one block in this arrangement that I may just offer up to anyone who is trying a block on their own. I haven't decided which block yet. (Most likely not the one with the fabric from my new pal.)

Just eight more blocks to go
