What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I started these blocks at a recent guild retreat after mulling over the design for a couple of months.  I made two at the retreat and one more today.  I have more colours pulled to make nine blocks for this wall hanging. Here is the pink block.

The centres are a cute print that I have had in my stash for a few years.  I have the green and blue blocks in line to do next.
