Last week, my 2011 BOM group met and showed these blocks. The ones on the right are last month's and the one on the left is this month. I did not do this block because I've been working on the sashing for this quilt -- I'll have a photo of the progress on that on the Monday Design Wall post.
This beauty was shown last month, but I didn't have permission to post it. Ellyn kindly gave me permission when I remembered to ask. She shrunk the blocks from 12 inches to nine inches --
a math feat that boggles the mind for some of these blocks. And she added just a wee bit of red in each block. The log cabin setting blocks were her own invention. I especially like the little grey squares she added in the border.
I have a little dilemma... I need one more block for mine. Should I do a "54 45 or Fight?" I've always wanted to do one of these blocks.
Or should I do a feathered star? I love this block and I just can't imagine doing a sampler quilt without at least one. Or do both and put one on the back... Hmmmmm...

dilema, dilema...... dilema. I have a 54-40 quilt and I love it.... but a feathered star... is good too. I think I would look at the balance of which would work best with the other blocks. The feathered star might be too piece-y to fit with the others..... but its your quilt, do what YOU like!
Decisions, decisions, right! I love feathered star quilts but any would work! Your blocks are great and so is your friends bk/white/red quilt!!
Both and put one on the back (you know you want to!)
Ellyn's quilt is stunning! I want one!
