This block is the first one I made. I doodled it on my computer and then made my own paper foundations to create it. It finishes to 14'' square. It would make a great pillow so I'm thinking of making another one.
This one is the second block that I'm giving her. It finishes to 9'' square. I made my own little quarter circle templates. Each quarter circle is 2 1/4'' finished. That led to some cursing but eventually I got a technique that worked. The key was glue basting the entire curve together before sewing, stitching with a small stitch length and slow sewing. The result was totally worth it, in my opinion!
This last one is staying with me. I again made my own paper foundation for it. I love the way it turned out but I trimmed it too short! I'll find a purpose for it someday!

They all look great. Nice job with the transparency challenge. I especially like the second one. It would make a great block for a whole quilt if you played with scale and block orientation.
I love the striped block!!! You did a great color play on that one!!!! The same goes for the circles!!!!!
Its a shame that you can't use the other one just yet!!!
Sooo great! I wanna see more :-)
Best regards.

I really love your blocks! ALL of them!
The thing that I find so impressive is that they are all strong in design yet different from each other. You've captured transparency in three unique ways! I'm so impressed, as always!
