Block Island is part of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 13 miles (21 km) south of the coast of Rhode Island, 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point on Long Island, and is separated from the Rhode Island mainland by Block Island Sound. The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as Census Tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census the population of 1,051 lived 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 made by the recessional and terminal moraine that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat, about 22,000 years ago.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places"; the list consists of twelve sites in the Western Hemisphere. 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 made separate trips to the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island is coextensive with the town of New Shoreham. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. The island 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.[citation needed]
Every summer the island hosts Block Island Race Week, a competitive, week-long sailboat race. On odd years, the event is held by the Storm Trysail Club, and on even years by the Block Island Race Week. Yachts compete in various classes, sailing courses in Block Island Sound and circumnavigating the island.[citation needed]
Other popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade and celebration. During these times the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd
Back alley that's blocked off in my neighborhood, has been for as long as I remember. Shot with Canon AE-1 Program on Ilford HP5+.
This is my test block in my colors. I love how it turned out and can't wait to make everyone else's!
We arrived in Bangkok yesterday and this morning I wandered around the grounds of our hotel, taking a few shots. The building opposite (GE's Bangkok offices, I think) had these wonderful reflections in the window.
A couple of minutes after taking this I was confronted by security guards declaring that no photos were allowed... I walked around the block and tried to take some more pictures and - yes, you've guessed it - the same thing happened again.
From the My Thai - a cocktail of shots set.
My brother's tumbling blocks is coming along. We put out all the pieces onto my kitchen floor to figure out how many more he should make. He's just about half way with 165 of 375 blocks complete.
Playroom at one of the kindergaartens in Pripyat.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.

Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

Some more scrap blocks for my quilt. I love these blocks, and I'm sure I have enough scraps for 100 blocks.

This block is from the book 99 Modern Blocks. It's a fun and simple (paper-piecing is involved) block and I highly recommend you give it a whirl.
She wanted a bit about where we live, and what we like.
I live in the UK (nnnaaahhh really? haha) and i like fabric. The selvages are from some of my favourite fabrics.
My first attempt at foundation piecing.
Block's not as wonky as it looks.

Wooden block set by Schowanek, marked as made in the U.S. Zone, Germany, which dates the design of the label to pre-1950.
This is a small set, the box size is approx. 70 x 80 mm, and the price label shows it was sold in Harrods for 4/6.
The company originated in the Sudetenland area of Czechoslovakia. After the Second World War the factory was nationalised and continued to produce wooden toys in a similar style. The Schoanek company re-established itself firstly in Austria, and then in the western part of Germany.

My bee blocks for Charlotte! Adore the colour scheme but it was surprising how few background fabrics I have with white - most are off-white or cream!
Must go shopping!
Don't the blocks look great all together like this? - All the blocks I have received so far from the awesome Canadian quilters of the Sew Modern Bee, along with 4 I have completed myself. Still waiting for 2 members blocks but I thought you would all want to see them together.
I was going to do 20 blocks but have changed my mind, now will do only 16 with sashing it will be queen size. Each block is 16.5 unfinished. Fabric line is Flourish from Studio E.
Please feel free to add a note indicating your block.
Thanks so much everyone for your wonderful blocks.
An old office building now part of a new block. I have made some minor changes like a more magnificent entrance in tarnished copper. It is art deco inspired after all. I just wish it had a suitable print. It also has two ground levels with a long stair to the upper level. Each step is approximately one quarter of a plate.
