This is the only block I have ever made that has no seam embellishment, apart from the couching.
I have taken lots of photos of this to get the correct colours but this is as close as I can get.
The orange flowers are an intense orange.
The block will be mailed to HeartsandHands for Sendai
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.
The blocks are done, but I did not decide yet, should I combine them, or finish just one by one....hmmm
Anyone who has looked at my photostream knows how much I like the Kaleidoscope block! I've made it in different sizes and in a number of different ways. This is my current favorite size and method. Starting at the upper left, I use a 4.5 inch strip of stacked fabric. In this case four stacks. One can use whatever ruler they have that gives a 45 degree angle. This size will give an unset kaleidoscope block of 7.75 inches. After I've cut the triangles, I sew them together four groups of two for each block. I press to one side. Then sew those units together. The two seams nest and if you put them under the presser foot and begin the seam, you can then hold the bottoms together and, since you're sewing on a bias edge, the two pieces will come together nicely. Then I press those to one side. Sewing the center seam is the same as the quarter seam, if you line up the beginning, then line up the center and hold it with your finger, the seams will come together because of the bias. Press that seam open. The corners are a three inch square cut on the diagonal. Sew them on, either to the floral or the solid side and press toward the corners. Love this block! So many ways to make it and so many different looks you can get by changing your fabric placement. If you want to see any of these pictures larger, just right click on the whole collage and then click on "Original."
This block is approximately 6x6, signed, numbered and made to hang...or place...or use as a coaster. Whatever you see fit. Cheap and lookin' for a good home.
You can look in the "art?" set and see more. Once sold however, I delete them.

Victoria Barracks is found in Paddington Sydney. These barracks were constructed in sandstone by convict labour from 1841 to 1848.
They were used by the British Troops until 1870, and then the New South Wales corps. The NSW contingent to the Sudan were trained there in 1885. Between 1931 and 1936 it was the home of the Royal Military College of Australia. Victoria Barracks is still in use today and is home to the Headquarters Land Command and the Headquarters Training Command.
There are guided tours held here each Thursday.

This huge puddle just outside my gate is a temptation to some to create a wave. Sadly nobody obliged whilst I was taking pics, but one of my lodgers was a victim of an idiot who targeted her on purpose.

the room at the top of the house which was my office for 10 years has changed recently into a room of my own. I have given away my drawing board and many of my gardening books to a young garden designer friend who is starting out with her own business. Along one wall of my room I have three bookcases pushed together which form a long open shelf along the top - upon which 'stuff' accumulates and is moved about in a happy, not very neat everyday existence. I have decided to photograph the things on the shelf from time to time exactly as they are - with no attempt to make them into a still life. This is a little section of the shelf with printing blocks.
Michael Seidmann gave me the idea of the word serendipity by using serendipitous in a recent comment and Harris Hui has reminded me, by asking me whether I have one, that my 105mm lens is under used. Thanks.

Colors: Navy, coral, yellow with a white background. Clearly, I fudged the background thing - I just liked it so much better with the blue on the outside. I think this one's my favorite of the five.
Inspired by this quilt by She Can Quilt.
And I seriously want to make a whole quilt out of these. Swoon.
I am intrigued by these concrete blocks at the side of the road. One would imagine they are to stop people driving on the grass, but they seem very massive, are set back from the road and there are no similar blocks along the other side of the grass.
My parents have a killer collection of antique keys, here is my favorite one turned into a block print.

The blocks are paper pieced and although they took a little more time than I had planned I think it was worth it.
In Week 2 of Thinking Inking I've learned the technique using your acrylic block as the stamp pad with the distress inks - so much fun!
I used Broken China with peeled paint on the edges and misted my block well with ALOT of water, I then applied and Walah...a watercolor background :) I stamped my snowman, watercolored him and then stamped my sentiment and snowflakes. Added white to the snowflakes, and shimmer to the hat and buttons, glossy accents to his eyes and popped his tassle.

Thanks for looking.
Families use bike lanes. Please don't park in them. If you're not the
police or fire department responding to a call, it's not okay. It's not
legal, and it's not safe. Don't be a dick.
I added another round to my first block to make it a little bigger. May do the same with the fuschia block from last night.
