China Block

I jumped in and worked on the China Block by Carol Doak this afternoon and unlike the Austrian one, it came together pretty smoothly, notwithstanding that I had to take a break when Evelyn ran into the table leg during a game of tag with her sister. Sigh. That table, which has been sitting there for years, just jumped out and attacked her. "China" is a deceptively simple block that looks more complicated than it is. I was able to use some scraps in my scrap pile and that always makes me happy.

Here is the center and I am shamefully pleased with how well it came together:


The outside edges also lined up well:


Here are both of the blocks I worked on this weekend:


I always try to get pictures of the girls with the blocks but it is never a cake walk. Jezebel is usually pretty cooperative but as I have said before, that Evelyn is a worm.





Good Lord, what is that dog DOING?



There is something wrong with that dog.
