In addition to lots of UFO cross-stitching this week, I was able to get both blocks done for the Block-A-Palooza Quilt Along--this link will take you to the Flickr group to see others' blocks in the quilt along.
Here's my first flying geese block designed by Quilt Dad John which he titled Flying Over Fields ~ Block 1:
I had fun working on this block because it was relatively easy to put together. I'm using Kate Spain's Central Park fabric line.
Here's my second block named Word Search ~ Block 2 designed by Elizabeth Hartman over at Oh Fransson!
This block was very labor intensive, and it took me quite awhile to get nine 9-patch blocks cut and sewn together.
I like it though...now that it's all finished!
I'm hoping that the next blocks in the weeks to come will incorporate some larger patterns since Central Park has some large florals and, of course, the animal fabric. I'm looking forward to next week's blocks!

Deb, these blocks are just lovely! I am sure you had a great time putting them together - I don't think I can join in this time but will enjoy watching yours grow :0)
May you be richly blessed as a worshipping family this week end and each day.
love Val xx Oxfordshire UK

I just spent a few minutes going back through the past week or two of blog posts. I took a week off for our revival, so I'm just now coming by to see what you've been up to the past week. I LOVE your blocks! The fabrics are gorgeous! I'm going to start on a quilt-a-long (although late) as soon as I get this baby quilt done I'm working on. I just can't seem to catch up!
