I'm a little behind...but I'm finally catching up! I've just purchase a new camera, so I'm re-posting a couple of my blocks...much better lighting!

Block statue of Ahmose, son of Pakharkhons.
A fine example of this kind of statue, which provided a large surface area for inscriptions.

They're not Lego blocks, but this otherwise looks pretty cool. They were sitting out on the table to dry and I took a number of shots, both to play with color, and to play with my tripod and various exposures.
July is my month for TwitterBee. I'm a little behind on putting together an inspiration post and fabrics but I'm thinking my theme will be star blocks featuring the new Heather Ross Far Far Away II fabric.
For her blocks in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Deanna sent out some pretty earth-toned fabrics and asked for almost any 12.5" non-wonky block. She indicated that the black print was her inspiration/focus fabric.
This block is "Happy-Go-Lucky" from "Quiltmake's 100 Blocks Volume 3." It uses three different techniques -- paper piecing (for the four corner triangles with the brown star points,) templates (for the units containing the points of the centre star,) and then regular piecing. This is actually the first time I've ever used templates -- I was hard to maintain perfect accuracy after tracing the template to freezer paper and then cutting around it out of the fabric. I think that it turned out okay, though.

A feature of Panataran that I found puzzling was these windows, blocked by carved work in a different colour of stone. Ornament? retrofitted anti-burglar devices?
Two more blocks - yellow and yellow-orange. The two colors aren't as distinct as I would have liked, but oh, well. :)
The plan is to use Connie (Freemotion by the River's) QAYG tutorial for finishing them off www.conniekresin.com/2013/03/qayg-tutorial-ra
Blocks I've received so far from the 3x6 star hive plus some extras I made. My colors are cherry red, aqua, leaf green, and pink.

This is my center block for the Quilt Along. It is called Air Castle and it is the first block (alphabetically!) in my Block Tool. I'm pretty new to quilting, and just got this cool reference and figured, why not start with "A" :)

A big thank you to everyone who swapped with me for the brown Mendocino prints!!
I struggled with this one. There are so many different shades of brown in the mermaid print, I didn't know which one to focus on. I ended up winging it and using all different shades! I think it looks okay, not my favorite though!
