I'm done with the blocks that Randy on Barrister's Block has listed in her Sow-A-Long. Starting in February, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, she's posting instructions for three blocks. I've made a few more on my own. This group--
Top row: #53 and #21
Middle row: #71, #9, and #31
Bottom row: #6 and #73
The brown block is the most complex one so far. I made a cutting mistake for a simpler block, didn't want to waste the fabric, and found the "Jacknife" block where I could use all the cut pieces.
These blocks look like I'm sewing them with random colors, but this group is pretty much it -- brown, yellow, red, pink, green, and aqua. I've be questioning the dark blue (with lime and aqua small print), but as long as I have bright red and brown in the quilt, the dark blue won't stick out that much. And I'll use each of them enough so they'll look like they definitely belong.

They look fabulous! I am really tempted to do those.
I think this combination of colors looks wonderful! Oh yes, I would leave the blue in if it was mine, which it isn't, so do what you want! : ) I especially love that brown block.
Nice variety while still keeping a theme, Vivian! Glad you're getting some sewing time in while still playing nurse.
Your blocks are gorgeous, the colours are so nice.
I think you have a nice balance of colourways there Vivian! They are delightful blocks, it must be nice to be working with colour again for a while after all those neutral tonings, keeps it interesting!!!
Love the blocks...one day I hope to do this quilt..
