On Friday my design wall still looked the same as in my last post. Those blocks had been hanging on my design wall since June. I finally decided to just put them away for now. When I have a need for a baby/child-size quilt, they will become a finished quilt. Until then, since they have not been speaking to me for months, they need to go away.
This is my new project. It is a Mississippi Wheel of Fortune block. I am using paper foundations to piece it following a pattern by Karen Stone. The block on the left is finished. It was intended to be a table topper to tie in with this at Christmas time. Hubby, however, thinks it should be a pillow. We'll see about that. (This is a 20 inch block!) The block on the right is in progress. I'm not sure how many I will make. I have a good stash of batiks and could easily make enough for a large quilt. But I am undecided on if I want to devote that much time to a foundation pieced project. I will say that I love the colors so far.

Absolutely lovely!
Love these blocks! The one on the left with the stripe fabric has so much movement! Don't you love working on a quilt and just making blocks until you get bored of it?! No pressure...just fun!
I am kinda leaning toward hubby on this one. It would make a super cute pillow.
Oh..I wish I was a paper piecer. I can do one or two pieces but then it drives me crazy. It's just too slow. Kudos to you for conquering it!
Very cute blocks and what a pattern. The block is quite original and very interesting. Nice job.
wow never saw this wheel before - so pretty!! I thought I was the only one to let things just sit on my design wall for months at a time - lately I've been layering projects on there LOL!!!
oh those are lovely-they look difficult.
I agree that 20inches is a bit big for a pillow but it is also a bit small for a table topper. Maybe a wall hanging would work at 20". I love the movement in both pieces. I wish I had that pattern.
