Building Blocks

In my attempt to get my UFOs finished I could not resist a few Quilt Alongs and BOMs I came across.  It seems they were everywhere at the new year!

I joined  Amy's Sugar Block Club (I keep wanting to call it sugar bowl) over at her blog, which I just discovered,  Stitchery Dickory Dock.  Each month you get a star block along with a recipe for a sweet which I have managed not to make so far and I hope I can keep it that way!  It's not that the recipes don't sound very good, but, just trying to cut back on anything that contains a lot of sugar.

I've had this stack of oriental-themed fabrics since 2005 and this seemed the perfect time to cut into them  That and the fact that I am trying to use what I have on hand.  I love the results.  That red and pink January block is just so pretty.  And the february one isn't too bad either.  It's not too late to join!
