For her blocks in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Joanna sent us either green or blue fabrics plus some grey and white. She asked for geometric, non-wonky, non-pinwheel blocks and noted that she loved paper-pieced stars.
I love paper piecing so it was an easy choice. This block is from a quilt pattern called Millennium Compass on eQuiltPatterns. I used the two green fabrics that were sent and added in two of my own, each slightly darker than the ones sent.

I fell in love with these crossed canoe blocks. I'm thinking of making a whole quilt out of these, something scrappy maybe?
Sample block in my colours of aqua, yellow and grey. For the 3x6 Sampler Quilt Mini Bee.

Please don't enter this dilapidated building in the Casco Viejo (old town) district of Panama City, Panama. Actually, I'm not sure they are really cinder blocks, but that is sort of what they remind me of.
Block 1 for the Camelot Quilt. It was so much fun to make! I am really looking forward to starting block 2!

Taken with this on 4th October - one of the things I like about using film is the wait for the results !

It's been a year since I have made any of these blocks. It was good to have a break, but I really enjoyed making these.

On Highway 71 just south of Highway 3 in Northwest Iowa. Block barns are few and far between in Iowa, and this one came with an old fashioned block corn crib and silo as a bonus!

15.5" square block for Gretchen. Inspired by the beach. I used the freezer paper tutorial from Oh Fransson (map of the states block) to create this block.
For our March block, Lesly picked this cool Grandma's Flower Garden block, and sent us each the taupy linen for background. She also sent 5-6 fabrics of 2 specific color families, and we were able to alter the block as we liked as far as the piecing goes, as long as it maintained the same shape and the linen background strips were the same. I had so much fun figuring out what I wanted to do and picking out fabrics to add in. :)

Fotografia presa amb una càmera Rolleiflex Automat (RF 111A), fabricada el 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 revelat amb HC110. Aquesta càmera és contemporanea amb Auschwitz-Birkenau.
En aquesta imatge es poden veure els tres tipus de barracons d'Auschwitz I: els originals de dos plantes, els originals d'una planta sobrepujats a dues, i els construits durant la guerra.
Auschwitz. Què més puc dir més enllà d’aquest toponim en alemany d’una vila polonesa. Tots ja sabeu què fou, de 1940 a 1945. Aquí es creà un camp de concentració per la explotació salvatge i mortal dels enemics del III Reich. Però sobretot a partir de 1943 i a la seva extensió (i futur camp independent) de Birkenau: l’extermini dels jueus europeus a nivell industrial.
En aquest cas, el camp original (Auschwitz I o Stammlager Auschwitz (camp principal)) fou creat el juny de 1940 en una antiga caserna del exèrcit polonès. Per això està format per edificis de maons de dues plantes, tant diferent de Birkenau. Els nazis hi afegiren més blocs, torres de vigilancia i filferrades. Entorn el camp proliferaren industries de guerra alemanes, aprofitant sense pietat la ma d'obra esclava. Tot i no ser el camp on es va produir la major part de l'extemini massiu (Birkenau), Auschwitz I fou un infern espantós per a tot aquell que hi va anar a parar. L'esperança de vida mitjana era d'uns 3 mesos i els morts foren centenars de milers.

=====================================
Photograph taken with a Rolleiflex Automat camera (RF 111A), manufactured in 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 film developed in HC110. This camera is of the same era than Auschwitz-Birkenau.
In this picture you can apreciate the three different block types in Auschwitz I: pre-war 2 floor blocks, pre-war 1 floor blocks (expanded to 2nd floor by the nazis) and "newer" 2 level blocks built by the nazis. By order these are background left, foreground left, and foreground right.
Auschwitz. What else can I say beyond this toponym in German of a Polish town. You all know what it was, from 1940 to 1945. Here a concentration camp was created for the savage and deadly exploitation of the enemies of the Third Reich. But especially from 1943 and in its extension (and future independent camp) of Auschwitz II - Birkenau. The extermination of European Jews at an industrial level.
In this case, the original and main camp (Auschwitz I or Stammlager Auschwitz) was created in June 1940 in an old Polish army barracks. That is why it consists of two-story brick buildings, so different from Birkenau. The Nazis added more blocks, watchtowers and barbed wire. German war industries proliferated around the camp, exploiting slave labor mercilessly. Despite not being the camp where most of the mass extermination took place (Birkenau), Auschwitz I was a terrifying hell for everyone who ended up there. The average life expectancy was about 3 months and the dead were hundreds of thousands.
