Música, conversaciones, gritos y risas de vecinos que se conocen de toda la vida, abundaban en los blocks de la Fundiyork.
Mientras los niños jugaban frente a los bloques, las copuchas eran pan de cada día, al igual que el pan amasado que salía calentito del horno comunitario.
Algunos viejos se fumaban un puchito recordando los tiempos en la mina, mientras que los más jóvenes jugaban sus partidos en la cancha del club deportivo Cristóbal Colón, mientras que los gatos observaban desde lo alto todo el panorama, paseándose entre las barandas, pasillos y escaleras del block.
Así era el día a día en uno de los tantos blocks de la Fundi, llena de risas y peleas, de gente muy seria pero cariñosa y de gatos que miraban todo desde lo alto.
The West Block
“In 1859, architects Thomas Stent and Augustus Laver designed the West Block in a Gothic Revival style. It was designated a Classified federal heritage building in 1987 for its important historical associations, architectural quality and environmental impact.
Designed to accommodate the federal civil service, as more space was required the two large additions were built: the Mackenzie Wing and Tower in 1878 and the Laurier Tower and Link in 1906.
The West Block, with the Centre and East Blocks, makes up the core of Canada’s Parliamentary Precinct. Commanding the western side of Parliament Hill, the West Block was built in three phases starting in 1859, and opened in 1866. The West Block was completed in 1909 by the Department of Public Works (now Public Services and Procurement Canada).
It encompasses:
* the South and East Wings, built from 1859 to 1865
* the Northwest Wing, built from 1875 to 1879
* the North Wing, built from 1906 to 1909
Today, we are at the end of a major project that has both restored the West Block to its original glory and equipped it for the needs of a 20th century Parliament. It now plays host to Canada’s members of Parliament in its. interim House of Commons Chamber, a soaring, glass-roofed structure, built into the central courtyard at the heart of the building.
Since 2011, work has been carried out to repair and modernize the building at a cost of $863 million (excluding Harmonized Sales Tax). The project has brought West Block up to standard and has ensured it will meet the current and future needs of Parliament while preserving its heritage characteristics for the next 150 years.”

Melbourne is known for a warren of 19th century lanes and arcades in the centre of the city, we had a walk around a few on one of our two days there. Block arcade is very grand and filled with prestigious shops.

I'm digging how this is coming together, especially since I didn't have a vision for this quilt when I started, which can sometimes be disastrous, no? :)
This is a paper block I made for my dear flickr and blog friend, Elizabeth of Creative Breathing. She recently hosted a "block" party to celebrate her 300th post. To all those who participated in the block party, she created and sent out a block and in return we were to create one and send it to her. So much fun!
Not too often does the CP stop one of there trains and allow a CN train thru first. Don't know why this played out like it did but it is what it is. A southbound CN train glides across the double diamonds at Duplainville while a westbound oil empty is already on the throttle as he tells dispatch he is blocking Barker Road.

Loved the mad rock formations in Iceland, these blocks are right by the cave in the last image. Model is Anna.
On of my husband's friends on the fire dept is a quilter and we decided to exchange a couple of blocks. I don't know what she's making for me, but I made her a rainbow tree. I like it, it's not balanced completely, but what tree really is?
Edit, that was all BS, I actually made this for mamacjt for a special thank you quilt that was made and given to her. :) I just couldn't let her know ahead of time, didn't want to spoil the surprise. :)
