These are the "carpenter's wheel" blocks from Jen over at Cre8tive Quilter. If you click here, she has links to her instructions and some paper-piecing patterns. Because these finish at six inches, I used the fabrics that I have stashed for my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler quilt project and I will probably include these blocks there.
I haven't finished the one on the left-- it's amazing how much they "shrink up" after you sew all the pieces together.
This is my design wall for today -- to check out others, click here to go to Judy's blog. That other thing on the left is the zigzag border for the blue/green quilt. I think I like it better with this block in the middle. I won't commit until I reach the point of sewing them all together.

Both of the blocks are stunning, how big are they? I love the movement in them and the blue/green color combo is a fav of mine. I don't commit to a final decision until the last minute on block sewing myself. Sometimes I just impulsively pick!!
Six inches!! Wow. Great work.
Love the Pelican!!!! The different stitching above and below the horizon is perfect!!!
You sure do a diversity of work. All lovely. Can't wait to see the completion of your pelican.
