ladmquilter's colours for this quarter of the 3x6 bee were blue, gray and green. She asked for a gray background (I used Kona medium gray.) The feeling of the block really changes a lot when white isn't used for background.
I made this block using the tutorial here at the blog Needles and Spatula. It was very easy (no pinning required and lots of room for error.) The hardest part was deciding how to arrange the squares. I thought that this arrangment would work well with the wonkiness of the circles and was different from the usual. I loved the result so much that I now have a plan to make an entire quilt of blocks like these using cool-toned shot cottons.
Ursi wanted hers to finish at 12 1/2", so mine will too. :-) www.seahorsequilts.com/2013/01/fal-goal-one-bee-better.html
This is my version of the Noel block. I added the dangling ornaments, combining the dangling ornament block found at quiltinggallery.com/2011/10/20/quilt-along-christmas-orna... with the Noel Block. I'm not 100% finished with this block, I still need to embroider on the ornament strings and sew down the applique.
This is Block 8 of "Down In The Garden" (designed by Leanne Beasley)...one more block to go!

Ottawa was struck by a particularly vicious storm on Saturday afternoon, with much of the city still without power half a week later. This is a tree that fell into the street on Baseline Rd, and is still blocking the sidewalk.
Blocks of cushion often used for sitting in dewaniyas, as seen in the Friday Market, a weekend flea market here in Kuwait.
from wikipedia: The Dewaniya mistakenly & commonly called Diwaniya, has existed in Kuwait since time immemorial. The term originally referred to the section of a bedouin tent where the menfolk and their visitors sat apart from the family. In the old City of Kuwait it was the reception area where a man received his business colleagues and male guests. Today the term refers both to a reception hall and the gathering held in it, and visiting or hosting a dewaniya is an indispensable feature of a Kuwaiti man’s social life.
As a social event, a Dewaniya takes place in the evening in a special room or annex which is usually separate from the rest of a man’s house. Only men are present and they sit around on soft benches or cushions, conversing casually, smoking, nibbling snacks and relaxing over beverages such as tea, coffee or the like. Relatives and friends come and go throughout the evening. The host’s job is to be hospitable and entertain his guests.
If you would like to make some of these for the Kind Stitches bee, please check out this blog posting:

Thanks very much!
This stacked-coins mini quilt block was really fun. Simple and a good way to use a lot of fun fabric.
for Maritza's awesome wonky log cabin. 2 more to go!
(I'm kinda grooving on being able to make a mosaic out of the block photos to suss out how the quilt is coming together. So fun!)
