I am almost finished with a nine patch quilt block, although a cross stitched one... I think quilt blocks look great in cross stitch especially with variegated fibers. I've seen some neat designs featuring quilt blocks. There is a designer on Etsy who has quilt block type patterns with a black cat and I love those. I used some of my favorite colors from The Gentle Art in this one, I liked the green and purple combination. I am excited about my progress with my letter C from Nora. I have one arm left on the little fairy (lots of little petite stitches so I have to be in the mood with good lighting to work on her) but otherwise the design stitches up fairly quickly. This is the first fairy I've ever done and I'm already thinking of more I'd like to do.
Working with some more fabrics in spring shades to make little patchwork pincushions. Pincushions are very fun to collect and I have a little collection. I usually do mostly small needlework projects so I use a pincushion or needlecase to keep my needs and threads close at hand. 
This is the last antique garden cart in the six pattern collection. I made the first five into a wall quilt and wanted this last one as a pillow with laces and ribbons. I really like pretties and frills.
