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.
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.
For this quarter of the 4x5 bee Diane asked for blocks in aqua, turquoise, yellow and grey.
I used a paper-pieced pattern from eQuiltPatterns called "Wichita Planes."

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.

This is the monolith that stands at the highest point of the sculpture park. It comprises 121 figures and was carved out of a single granite block.
A Farmer's Wife 1930s paper-pieced block (no. 83). I created this block over two evenings as I didn't want to mismatch those points!
You can find all my Farmer's Wife 1930s quilt blocks over at the Patchsmith's blog.

A block wall at the Caribbe Inn in Atlantic Beach, NC. The colors and geometry of the wall were striking.

I posted the modified chain piecing version of making the blocks on my blog if you're interested.
