My block for the Katrina "All That Jazz" quilt. New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are famous for their gardens so I added some greenery in along with the bright pinks, purples and fuschias. The lines on the center block remind me of the lines from sheet music. I'll probably play that up a bit as I add goodies!
my first two block prints. i think i'll get more into this because it was pretty fun and now i know a little more about what i'm doing with it.
Frank, Eva, Clara, Lucy, Ruby, Grandpa Block, Grandma Block, Bill, May. Erv, Carl and Chub are in the front. George is missing.
The Rosenstrasse protest was a nonviolent protest in Rosenstraße ("Rose street") in Berlin in February and March 1943, carried out by the non-Jewish ("Aryan") wives and relatives of Jewish men who had been arrested for deportation. The protests escalated until the men were released. It was a significant instance of opposition to the events of the Holocaust.
In the mid-1980s, Ingeborg Hunzinger, an East German sculptor, created a memorial to those women who took part in the Rosenstraße Protest. The memorial, named "Block der Frauen" (Block of Women), was erected in 1995 in a park not far from the site of the protest. The sculpture shows protesting and mourning women, and an inscription on the back reads: "The strength of civil disobedience, the vigor of love overcomes the violence of dictatorship; Give us our men back; Women were standing here, defeating death; Jewish men were free."

Day 46, February 15, 2011's photo of the day
This quick snapshot was taken during the first blocking rehearsal of 'How I Learned to Drive'. It is also the first published photo I took with my new Verizon iPhone. Not a bad little point and shoot camera.
So...what is "blocking"? In theatre, when actors move around on stage, they are not doing that in an unplanned fashion. Every action an actor takes on stage, from picking up a mug of coffee to casually strolling over to a fellow actor, is planned in advance. This planning of actions is called "blocking". The Director has the actors start practicing this very early on because by the time opening night comes, all the movement on stage must look very natural and unrehearsed. Actors can also use the blocking to help memorize lines, by knowing that when an actor walks to point X on the stage, they are to begin an argument with another character.
So, now you know a little bit about theatre stuff - who knew my little Project 365 blog would educate as well as entertain [y'all are laughing at how bad my photos have been the last few days, right?].
As seen on www.vjl365.com.
This block has not turned out how i wanted but never mind ,chey will still think it's great because it will be all his! just have to do the other one...it was bit of a fight as i kept forgetting to have right side of fabric up and ended up with pairs! I used freezer paper for the template and it worked really well .
A selection of new block print journals I have been working on. They are not Moleskine, but are constructed much like them, with the elastic closure and the interior pocket. These were printed first with a layer of white ink, then a layer of silver on top.
Hope you like your blocks, Terri. I kept them simple to make the best of the HR you sent me. I am particularly pleased with how the elephant and Mowgli fit together without it being obvious that I had to cut the monkey from the middle. These shall be handed over with pleasure in a few weeks time.
In progress. I printed the completed block yesterday, so I'll post photos of the finished print soon.
Block 6 in the Layer Cake Quilt Along. I didn't notice if it had a proper name but, to me, it's the factory icon from SimCity :)
I'm now pondering on what other icons could make good quilt blocks!
Ok folks, here they are for the taking. Find them, keep them, trade them. Find them all and you can put then together for the whole image.

Elliot asked that he could have a block party for his birthday so that he could ride his bike in the street.

In the past days, I have been all over the city, which isn't terribly unusual, but somehow I've crossed paths with some major neon signs everywhere I've gone.
This is a little closer view (a little wiggly on the grass). It LOOKS similar to applique, but it is inset. This block went together, from cutting to stitching to ironing the finished block, faster than the log cabin blocks I made in a different quilt!
