For the July Around the Block swap Jan from Sewjourn sent out a bundle of fabric including pre-cut borders to make three 8.5 inch blocks. For the center of each of the blocks Jan asked for "simple but interesting".
The pre-cut borders for each block were a different width, therefore each of the pieced centers varied in size accordingly. I particularly enjoyed the challenge of fussy cutting whilst making the most of limited fabric.

I also enjoy browsing the Quilting Bee Blocks Flickr Group - loads of block ideas!
Beautiful blocks, I am sure Jan will be thrilled.

My favorite is the pink one -- it looks like there are two fish kissing in the middle. :o) Great job fussy cutting and putting it all together! I'm sure she'll be ecstatic to get them from you. :o)
