The Block Arcade
We quickly discovered that "arcade" in Australia has a very different definition than in the U.S. Australian Arcades are shopping malls. Those we visited, such as this one near our hotel in Melbourne, are elegant and include incredibly fine restaurants. This one was built in 1891.
First block, 2nd version. I took the block apart because I did not like the fabric I had used on the + and switched to the turquoise scissor fabric. Much better These are going to be very addicting!
Class Preparation and Examples - not all of these small blocks are Foundation Paper Pieced. Sometimes it makes more sense to piece them. I'll show you some clever tricks to achieve these 2" Finished blocks. www.nadel-welt.de/de/programm

The Whitney Block is an important provincial office building located in Toronto, Ontario. It is located across the street from the Ontario Legislature, and contains the offices of the Premier of Ontario and most cabinet ministers.
The Modern Gothic structure was built in 1926 by architect F. R. Heakes and the tower was added in 1932. Whitney Block is faced with Queenston limestone. The facade is ornamented by repeated sequences of quatrefoils, and figures designed by Charles Adamson, which represent abtsract ideals like justice, as well as more ordinary pursuits such a mining and farming.[1]
At its completion it was one of the tallest buildings in Toronto.
These brass plates are being put into the pavements outside the old houses from which Jews were deported to extermination camps during the rule of the Nazis. The idea is that you almost trip over them, then read the names of the people who used to live there, thus also bowing your head. I like this idea of a memorial, because it brings the whole holocaust down to a local and personal level. This action is not limited to Darmstadt, but is spread across all of Germany. I thought black and white best fitting. Other data on the blocks includes date of birth, where the person was deported to, and date of death (if known). Please view in full size.
