I printed with a printing block using green ink and then added the picture on top. I've then added hand embroidery and coloured some of the hearts in with felt pen and watercolour
4x5 Bee, November 2013
Colors: Red, Maroon, Pink, Orange, Yellow. My favorite so far.
**The block is based off a terrific quilt I saw by Rita of Red Pepper Quilts, her blog post is here. I think she's coming out with a pattern early next year. I reverse engineered it knowing the block was 12" finished (the little squares are 1.5" finished, and I drafted a simple paper pieced template for the other units).
Karlyn sent out packets of scraps in either yellow, green or pink, and asked us for wonky strip blocks inspired by Aneela's tutorial in the first issue of Fat Quarterly. So much fun, I made 2!! Finished 12.5" square.
Love this guy! I wonder what he thought of me taking his picture? I guess I'll never know. Incredulous?
For Our Daily Challenge topic - 'Balancing Act'
The hardest part of this was photographing it !! More than an hour on that.
Block for Laura for the 3rd quarter of the 3x6 Bee. She asked for bright rainbow colors and I couldn't resist the multicolored stripes I had in my stash that used the black...so I added in some black for contrast.
Hi everyone! I thought you might like to see what the blocks are looking like when they are all put together with the ones that I have already. It's going to be great! Thank you!

Melbourne is well known for it's pretty Victorian architecture, however the city is also home to thousands of 1970's/1980's blockish, small apartment buildings. Although not as conventionally pretty, they still have charm. This is an on going project which will highlight some these 1970's block like Melbourne buildings. Carlton, Melbourne.

Depraved Nation's 100 Block opens tomorrow and sexZ has an exclusive set of lightly polka dotted Stocking Tops for the event! These tops will be priced at half their regular ticket price so you better get your keister there while the event lasts.
Tops include Omega and Slink hand appliers.
Day 13 of 365 Toy Project
Bought these vintage blocks for my niece, but since she is at the stage when she will put everything in her mouth, I happily put them in my toy chest.
I love these blocks.
Even in the communist era design did not die! This is one of a series of five (I recall) concrete blocks that have something a little daring about them and are a bit different from the usual concrete box fare. I liked the details on this and the megalithic plinth level decked out in shops
Block Island
Block Island is located off the coast of Rhode Island, approximately 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point, Long Island, and 13 miles (21 km) south from mainland Rhode Island, from which it is separated by Block Island Sound. It was named after Dutch explorer Adriaen Block.
The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as census tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 Census, the island's population is 1,051 living on a land area of 9.734 square miles (25.211 km2).[1] The island is part of the Outer Lands region, a coastal archipelago.
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places", which consists of 12 sites in the Western Hemisphere, and about 40-percent of the island is set aside for conservation.[2] Presidents Bill Clinton,[3][4] Dwight D. Eisenhower,[5] Franklin Delano Roosevelt,[6] and Ulysses S. Grant[7][8] have visited Block Island. Other famous visitors include Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, who each visited the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island shares the same area as the town of New Shoreham, Rhode Island. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. It also hosts two historic lighthouses: Block Island North Light on the northern tip of the island, and Block Island Southeast Light on the southeastern side. Much of the northwestern tip of the island is an undeveloped natural area and resting stop for birds along the Atlantic flyway.[10]
Popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade, celebration, and fireworks. During these times, the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd.
