Here are some antique Lego building blocks from the 1940s. These were made before Lego started making plastic toys. Pretty nifty, eh?
from the Kansas City Star
Pattern and tutorial to paper piece the block here:

Chinese censors blocked access to Twitter and other popular online services today , two days before the 20th anniversary of the crackdown on democracy protests in Tiananmen Square.
The move came amid increasing pressure on dissidents, in a reflection of the authorities' anxiety ahead of the sensitive date. Hundreds died as the army forced its way through Beijing to clear away demonstrators from the capital's political heart in June 1989, but the issue is taboo on the mainland.
The photo-sharing site Flickr, email service Hotmail and other services were also unavailable this evening.
This quilt measures 68x86". I didn't take a picture of it on a bed because that would have been a good idea!! :) But it's large. Good and large. No teeny little lap blanket for survivors of that tornado!

Block Island is part of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 13 miles (21 km) south of the coast of Rhode Island, 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point on Long Island, and is separated from the Rhode Island mainland by Block Island Sound. The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as Census Tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census the population of 1,051 lived on a land area of 9.734 square miles (25.211 km2).[1] The island is part of the Outer Lands region, a coastal archipelago made by the recessional and terminal moraine that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat, about 22,000 years ago.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places"; the list consists of twelve sites in the Western Hemisphere. About 40 percent of the island is set aside for conservation.[2] Presidents Bill Clinton,[3][4] Dwight D. Eisenhower,[5] Franklin Delano Roosevelt,[6] and Ulysses S. Grant[7][8] have visited Block Island. Other famous visitors include Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, who each made separate trips to the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island is coextensive with the town of New Shoreham. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. The island hosts two historic lighthouses: Block Island North Light, on the northern tip of the island, and Block Island Southeast Light, on the southeastern side. Much of the northwestern tip of the island is an undeveloped natural area and resting stop for birds along the Atlantic Flyway.[citation needed]
Every summer the island hosts Block Island Race Week, a competitive, week-long sailboat race. On odd years, the event is held by the Storm Trysail Club, and on even years by the Block Island Race Week. Yachts compete in various classes, sailing courses in Block Island Sound and circumnavigating the island.[citation needed]
Other popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade and celebration. During these times the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd.

edition of 21 on a variety of paper
Akua Kolor ink
Just felt like doing something graphic for a change, after spending all the time carving that detailed tree.
I received the coloured fabrics and added the Kona Snow fabric.
As paper piecing obviously uses more fabric than normal piecing, I had to become creative to have enough fabric for this block, thus the white in the coloured blocks and the use of the selvedge :)
This is the only block I have ever made that has no seam embellishment, apart from the couching.
I have taken lots of photos of this to get the correct colours but this is as close as I can get.
The orange flowers are an intense orange.
The block will be mailed to HeartsandHands for Sendai

Anyone who has looked at my photostream knows how much I like the Kaleidoscope block! I've made it in different sizes and in a number of different ways. This is my current favorite size and method. Starting at the upper left, I use a 4.5 inch strip of stacked fabric. In this case four stacks. One can use whatever ruler they have that gives a 45 degree angle. This size will give an unset kaleidoscope block of 7.75 inches. After I've cut the triangles, I sew them together four groups of two for each block. I press to one side. Then sew those units together. The two seams nest and if you put them under the presser foot and begin the seam, you can then hold the bottoms together and, since you're sewing on a bias edge, the two pieces will come together nicely. Then I press those to one side. Sewing the center seam is the same as the quarter seam, if you line up the beginning, then line up the center and hold it with your finger, the seams will come together because of the bias. Press that seam open. The corners are a three inch square cut on the diagonal. Sew them on, either to the floral or the solid side and press toward the corners. Love this block! So many ways to make it and so many different looks you can get by changing your fabric placement. If you want to see any of these pictures larger, just right click on the whole collage and then click on "Original."
Looking though a peephole into the sixth level (highest) catwalk between the cells of the east block at the Ohio State Reformatory.
Third floor contains the Friends apartments, squeezed a bit. A strange combination with one shared bathroom, big living rooms with kitchens, but they have to sleep on the sofas...
Here is my finished block. I am really pleased with how it has turned out. and I hope it fits with everyone else's blocks.
For anyone worried about the 3D effect- I did run it past Sarah first, and do a trial run!
experimenting with reusing some lino blocks on monotype backgrounds, which I guess would make this a monoprint, or maybe not... Having some trouble with registration because the trees are that thick very rubbery and floppy easy carve stuff. It's much easier to get good registration with something rigid!

For this quarter of the 3x6 bee sewcraftyjess asked for a block using gray, green and yellow. She specified lime green and any shades of yellow. I definitely am lacking gray in my stash -- the one print I found was from Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks line (one of my favourite prints!) I really like adding solids to blocks so this ended up working out well with a couple of gray solids as well.
The block is based on the technique in Oh Fransson's Mod Mosaic Floor Pillow.
Working on a block design. The HST in the two corners are a 1/2" each! I might have make my border wider...
Now an Office block
Victoria Barracks is found in Paddington Sydney. These barracks were constructed in sandstone by convict labour from 1841 to 1848.
They were used by the British Troops until 1870, and then the New South Wales corps. The NSW contingent to the Sudan were trained there in 1885. Between 1931 and 1936 it was the home of the Royal Military College of Australia. Victoria Barracks is still in use today and is home to the Headquarters Land Command and the Headquarters Training Command.
There are guided tours held here each Thursday.
