It has become a tradition in our guild for the past two years for members to make a 12" block with a given theme fabric. It is the brainstorm of Cappy and she finds the most fun fabrics. The first one (if my memory is correct) was chocolate, the second one was pizza, and this one is a mexican theme. The fabric we were given had tacos and chili peppers and margaritas and everything mexican. I used it in the center of my block. I was going to put the pinwheels all around but then I found the stripe fabric waaaaay down in my stash and had to use it. I can't wait to see all the finished blocks. This is another one I would love to win.
Mary is our a new Block-of-the-month chairperson. She has started off simple, but to be honest, sometimes they make the best BOMs. We were to do lime green and black nine patches... because lime green is the new beige! We usually have so many people participate that there is enough to do three or four drawings. I don't do a block every month because (and excuse me here) sometimes people don't follow directions. So you always get one or two blocks that don't play well with the rest. I have won those before. So I like this one and don't see many ways to go astray.Drawings are in August. Hope I win these too!
Until next time...

Wow..that is one bright block, I love it - I am a lots-a-color kind of quilter. It will be interesting to see how the nine patches turn out - someone is bound to throw a few stray colors in the mix.
I love them too, hope you win! We have a thing where each person makes blocks of a certain pattern, and each block is an entry for a drawing for all the blocks. I am still hoping to win this one!
I love that Mexican themed fabric!
Are you going to Hershey?
