Amy's fabulous instructions for these blocks (here) are brilliant and easy to follow with great tips and straightforward photo's (thanks Amy). These blocks do take a lot of work in the cutting department, but wow, they are so much fun to make, I'm having a blast!
There is perhaps a little too much colour in my blocks and the eye doesn't really know where to rest, but I'm going with it. I'm trying to mainly only use what is already in my stash, though some of these are not that old!
Oops, upside down strawberries anyone?!
My wonderful sister sent me the most fabulous gift a sister can give a quilter last year....how cute is this little iron? I can sit this right next to my sewing machine and iron each and every seam as I make them. This saves a lot of time running to the ironing board every time I need to flatten a seam. Invaluable!
Woohoo, I'm in fabric playing heaven!
What are you making this week that is giving you joy?

What great bocks! But they do look work intensive ;). How cute is that small iron! I want one too!!
Loving these blocks. Really inspiring work!
I love these blocks too but that iron is calling out to me - do I need one of those or should I continue doing the only exercise I do - getting up to walk one pace to the iron then back again?!
Looking good Cathy! I am making a satchel bag to take to Darling Harbour...it is making me smile!
These looks like a lot of fun! I am picking my sewing machine up later today, maybe it's time to get busy?
These cross blocks look great all together! You must be pleased with the effect!

I am making nine patches :) and working on another project I just can't share yet :)

Great block! And I love your fabric choices.
I just finished the same block for the one block over challenge. I just have to fine the space to take a photo and post it. Your blocks look great.
Ooo, they're fun! I think you have a team of sewists working for you. That's how you get so much done... ;D
I'm working on my single girl...kind-of. :)
Wow, they do look like fun! I love how you're using the black and white prints with those bright colours too.
I love this pattern! It may be just what I have been looking for. Inspirational!
What a wonderful block! Can imagine you are having fun sewing them together!
Love the idea and your blocks are great. I adore amy, too. I gotta go see what she's doing.
Yea! Love your blocks, Cathy! I am indeed working on a tutorial for the other block. Just took pics today (it's been raining raining raining here but I took pics anyway because it's going to keep raining) so it should be up tomorrow. For some reason I have a hard time finding fabrics I like for the corners of the X...I always get stuck there.
Love this design Cathy! What a fun quilt to make.
I am playing with my BrokenDishes-blocks...see more on my blog!
This block you are making seems great fun,perfect for using up stash!!! :-)
