Remember all those triangles? Now they are kaleidoscope blocks. Hopefully tonight I can sew the blocks together and think about what kind of quilting would best suit this. Any suggestions are welcome!
This is a “Bright Morning Star” quilt block. It is made using diamonds and triangles from different kinds of wood, all in their natural colors. I used some bright exotic wood on this one. There are 80 pieces on this block, 32 diamonds and 48 triangles, all full size. It measures 7” square. To finish them, I use one coat of varnish brushed on and 2 or 3 coats of a clear wiping varnish, rubbed in by hand.
The type of wood is listed on the bottom from the center out. On this quilt block the wood is “Oak” from Missouri, “Purple Heart” from Central or South America, “Satinwood” from Brazil, “Hackberry” and “Walnut” from Missouri.
Santa Claus block for Carrie (Passion for Applique). Had fun with this one! Odd shapes all over the place and easy to rotate wrongly from table to machine. Will certainly make another one though.
This is the view down cell block seven at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I encourage everyone to take the tour if you have time while you're visiting Philadelphia. A really amazing building with an amazing history that not too many people know about.
According to the Penitentiary website: In May 1833, architect John Haviland created a new model for Cell Block Seven, one with several advantages over earlier cell blocks at the site. The most noticeable difference between Cell Block Seven and the previous two story cell blocks – Four, Five & Six – is the 30 foot barrel vault ceiling. In addition, Haviland set the catwalks back so they did not hang over the first floor. This made the block brighter and contributed to the Cathedral - like atmosphere. When Cell Block Seven was finished in 1836, it marked the completion of the original construction.

Earlier today it was confirmed that troops fighting for the UAF, mostly EV Heavy Industries soldiers, have managed to steamroll through Austria and into Germany. Even as we speak heavy urban warfare is occuring in the capital city of Bavaria, Munchen. If the city were to fall it would deal a major blow to the CEC economy. It is understood that the soldiers started from Bolzano, northern Italy. It is believed that the major battles are occuring around the airports as the invading forces attempt to seize them. It has been further confirmed that various other PMCs are invading CEC and EEC territory at different locations. We can only sit and watch as the CEC/EEC coalition is ripped apart. More on the story as it unfolds.
For the World in Conflict group.

I was originally going to make modified 'retro flowers' blocks, but I'm really in love with this quilt by She Can Quilt, and liked the blocks better when the petals/wings were connected. I love that she calls them butterfly blocks.
And I seriously want to make a whole quilt out of these. Swoon.
Please feel free to use these for any art projects you may have. There is no copyright on these images.
Start of a pillow - love how scrappy they are!
