TJCA's Jonathan Hargro making a lead block for Bill Lay during the first half of the Pine Lake Prep football game. Thomas Jefferson won the Southern Piedmont Conference game 14 to 0.
Aren't these incredible? These blocks were made for me by my Redbird Quilting Bee (RQB) friends.

a block in Micro City with apartment building, shop and a petrol station.
I kind of imagine this to be a bookshop but suggestions are welcome.

I'm particularly proud of the Petrol Station
The fact that air conditioning and a "ballroom" are listed among the amenities here gives some insight into what decade this motel probably checked in its last guest. Not surprisingly there was nothing to be found over on the next block.

This pretty block is from a design by Carl Hentsch. Love these colors! Hard to see here, but the background is cream with a light turquoise floral design.
For this quarter of the 3x6 Bee Nancy asked for rainbow blocks on a grey or black background.
This paper-pieced block is "3 Layed Star" by Emedoodle of Mommy's Nap Time. The free tutorial to make this block is here.
Again with the pattern blocks... you'd think I work in a school or something... oh, wait. Here is a quick design I made playing with the pattern blocks before school started.
Random Fact: I find the hexagon to be a pleasing finished shape. Probably because so much of the build up to fractions relies on students realizing that two of the trapezoids fit into the hexagon, 3 rhombuses fit into the hexagon and 6 of the triangles fit into the hexagon. Only 1 hexagon fits into the hexagon though.

For this quarter of the 4x5 Bee Deborah asked for blocks in orange, chartreuse and grey.
The (free) pattern is Kaleidoscope from the Compass Collection by Quilting on the Square.

"A particularly fine shopping arcade of 1890-93, designed by Twentyman and Askew in a Boom version of the French Renaissance style, with handsome plate glass shop windows, an octagon at the junction on the two arms, mosaic tiled floors, a glass roof of which some sheets survive with their original decoration, cast-iron roof principals with elegant openwork spandrels, and six and seven storey buildings facing on to Elizabeth and Collins Street: in all a late monument to the financial boom and to B. J. Fink, J. McAlister Howden and the other members of the City Property Company, for which it was built."

As I was looking to my calendar photo, I noticed that the 4 little lower photos give the impression of being cubes instead of rhombic dodecahedrons. That rreminded me the Cube Illusion of Nick Robinson, so I folded it. Do you see the 3D-cube-shape in the middle of the hexagon?
It is made from 3 rectangles A4/4 of copy paper.
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.
