Okay, I love this block. I love its impact, its simplicity, and how relatively easy it is to match points (I didn't try that hard so there are some mismatches, but look how slight they are!).
Kate posted two sets of instructions, and I went with the first actually because I had my fabrics cut before she posted the second set of instructions, but I think the first set of instructions is pretty easy -- just more time-consuming than your average 12.5" square block! I'm taking a breather before I work on my second one:)
I've finished up my pillow for the Pillow Talk swap! Someone needs to get ready for a rather large pillow cover... it's fit for a 24" square pillow.
I used the wonderful Joseph's Coat Quilt Along tutorial from the www.dontlooknow.typepad.com

I guess not everyone enjoys Rhythm and Blues as much as she does. The musicians are in the fold below. I could tell they were pros because whenever they saw the camera on them, they smiled.
Have a great weekend all!

The Pocket Spirits couldn't resist a photo op with Oskar :-)
The darling turtle is an Ana Paula Rimoli design from the May/June 2010 issue of Crochet Today, and the Pocket Spirits are a free pattern available on my blog at:
Before finishing the head crochet, add 9mm eyes between rounds seven and eight of the head (you are counting rounds beginning at the neck this time). Stuff the head firmly, and complete the last two rounds of crochet to close the head.
You will have plenty of yarn left after the head is closed, so this is a good time to stitch the nose and eyelids of your little pocket spirit...she can now watch as she is completed :-)
merry-go-round freeform
cluster nonsense knitting/crochet
freespirit fusion
with lots of holes
& ruffles
& hidden limericks (??)
performed by my pig Hilde & me
- but please don´t ever tell Hilde
that she is in the www
it might scare her off...
....& I would miss her poetic grunting
but that´s a whole different story
with not so many holes in it......
Collection coming fall 08'
picnics
1930s/40s
shiny red convertibles
freshly laundered sheets hung on a clothes line
begonias on a kitchen window sill
tree swings
green grass
sweet iced tea
apple crisp with real whipped cream
clear blue skies, the kind you get just a few times a year where the air is so crystal clear and the sky that shade of blue that kind of makes your heart ache (in a happy way)
These are the things that inspired this collection, I hope you like it...
I would really love this entire line, but have never actually bought any for myself. I am always buying it for swaps, etc. Now, late in the game as usual, I want to begin my collection for a larger quilt.
Here's a link to my set of fabrics I have available for swap: www.flickr.com/photos/quiltergirl80/sets/72157626377108100/ Thanks!
