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.
I'm planning on making sets of cards with quilt blocks to use up some of my scraps of card and fabric. More details are on my blog stampingandstitching.blogspot.ie/2016/02/love-quilt-block...

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.
There is not getting away from the fact that I used my brand new favourite line ever bundle of Mama Said Sew fabric for this block. You must appreciate the sacrifice I made...!
Recent photo from a maternity session with Veronica and David. We actually lucked out quite a bit with these because Angelo ended up being born a month early - only one week after our shoot!
Lighting info for this shot was a 430EX II in 22" beauty dish camera left and a 430EX II in a 24" softbox camera right, triggered by a camera mounted 580EX II pointed at the ceiling for additional fill.
We also just did some newborn shots this past weekend now that Angelo is here.
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."

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."

This is a “Bright Morning Star” quilt block. It is made using diamonds and triangles from different kinds of wood, all in their natural colors. I used some bright exotic wood on this one. There are 80 pieces on this block, 32 diamonds and 48 triangles, all full size. It measures 7” square. To finish them, I use one coat of varnish brushed on and 2 or 3 coats of a clear wiping varnish, rubbed in by hand.
The type of wood is listed on the bottom from the center out. On this quilt block the wood is “Oak” from Missouri, “Purple Heart” from Central or South America, “Satinwood” from Brazil, “Hackberry” and “Walnut” from Missouri.
The conventional looking little blossoms are in two shades of pink, darker on the larger lines, and the lower sections of all are white, with green leaves and stems of course. More of these transfers can be found on polycrome's photostream. www.flickr.com/photos/polychrome/
