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.
A little bundle of red pansies. Pansies are one of my favorites to grow, but I have to keep them in a protected spot in a special pot because they don't do well in my fully sun exposed garden. 
Lovely blues and purples from Weeks Dye Works. They have great shades of blue in their floss collection. Looks like many colors were used, but really only a few. A great thing about hand dyed flosses.
