For her blocks in the Tag Square Bee Karen asked for all shades of green with a touch of orange, blue, red and/or ochre.
This block is "On the Plus Side" from the book Modern Blocks by Susanne Woods. I just recently got this book and was anxious to try out a pattern. This one involved a tonne of sewing (so many pieces!) but it wasn't hard -- just lots of straight seams. I'm a fan of plus and cross blocks and really like how this one changes things up a bit.

The blocks are paper pieced and although they took a little more time than I had planned I think it was worth it.

Melbourne's impressive Block Arcade was constructed in 1891 and is as much a popular shopping precinct today as when it was built. The architecture is stunning.
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.
Block "E," apparently this building in Minneapolis is cursed. Business come in and for some reason can't stay open. Not even movie theaters
Love the block Merran asked for in the Sew Sisters Bee. It's based on this quilt by Silly lil' Doe www.flickr.com/photos/silly_lil_doe/6081413131/
Empty block fully walled in by it street frontage, adjacent buildings and back wall. I really love the gritty edges of the roofline where the original building joined on to the walls.

This is part of Rhode Island, seen as we were descending towards JFK airport, coming from Barcelona.
This is the first block of another scrap quilt. Two different blocks make up the design. I have all the sections sewn for this block, I just need to sew those sections into blocks. I will begin block two before I do that tho'! I want to get some of each up on the wall to see how the design develops. This pattern is from the Fons & Porter, Love of Quilting, Jan/Feb 2011 magazine. They call their version "China Girl" if you want to take a peek.
The spinning star block I printed didn't print out big enough (my fault!) so I added more white to the outside!
Red, white, and aqua block for Chaletgirl13.
I hope you don't mind that I had to add a little of me in all of them with a fun focal print.

Block Arcade, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
"A particularly fine shopping arcade of 1890-93, designed by Twentyman and Askew in a Boom version of the French Renaissance style, with handsome plate glass shop windows, an octagon at the junction on the two arms, mosaic tiled floors, a glass roof of which some sheets survive with their original decoration, cast-iron roof principals with elegant openwork spandrels, and six and seven storey buildings facing on to Elizabeth and Collins Street: in all a late monument to the financial boom and to B. J. Fink, J. McAlister Howden and the other members of the City Property Company, for which it was built."

Blocks are finished but now sewn together yet. I wanted to decide on a border, so I auditioned a few plaids. I eliminated any that read as a solid because I really wanted the plaid look in the border. I was tempted by the red on the right in the lower picture, but it seemed to take away from the reds in the quilt top. Finally decided on the black & cream in the upper left of the lower picture.
Every block have a dream, a dream to become part of something amazing. They dream to be part of a castle, a sunset or a helicopter, its only up to you to make his dreams come true.
My teenage son finally cleaned his room (and the earth didn't stop spinning after all!) and out came this huge box of Lego's he's had since he was 3. He happily spent hours during the day creating various items, mainly tanks, ammo and regiments.
I tried a colored-pencil effect... it was quite unfortunate!
Here is a replacement that is more to my liking; thank you to my Flickr friends who quite nicely told me how horrible it was, because I totally agreed! That's what I get for uploading photos late at night after my brain has become mushy... ;)
