I don't know where this block is headed. The colors are fall: red, orange and green.
This is my Halloween block. I'm thinking of adding bats, ghosts, a tomb stone, wrought iron fence along a seam. I have some old orange rick rack (why did I buy this?) that would be good along one of the seams. I have a lot of Halloween ideas, so I might end up with two Halloween blocks. I also want to do one for Christmas and Valentine's Day.
This is the most traditional of the blocks to me. I'll add something gardeny, a bee hive, maybe, or some more flowers. I think it needs some taller flowers behind the yellow tulips, and the lady needs to be holding flowers too. Maybe a bird or dragonfly above the wisteria. I've also thought of putting a hand mirror with SRF on the back of it in the blank space.
The dragon block is wide open. I'll probably add a knight or mermaid to this block. I saw a little Viking ship that I liked too. This one has a couple of nice long seams that I'm looking forward to stitching.
I want to:
1. Bind Wild and Goosey
2. Get POD2 ready for the longarmer
3. Do the last two clues on Bricks, Steppingstones and Cobblestones
4. Put the borders on Allietare
5. Finish the cross stitching on Scream House
6. Keep up with Stars Around the Corner Clues
7. Continue to participate in Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I didn't make any goals for 2016, but it looks like I have some for March!

Nice blocks.
These blocks are all wonderful. My favorites are the Halloween block and the dragon, but I love them all. Beautiful work!
Beautiful blocks, looking forward to seeing them completed.
Your Hexie blocks are just beautiful each one tkaes on a life of its own.
Those are good goals, and very likely to be accomplished. I love your hexagon crazy quilt blocks. Each one is such a lovely combination of stitching techniques. I find I use Val Bothell's Pinterest page (Joyful Embellishment) a lot to start my ideas going. I don't think I've yet copied more than one or two of the seams exactly as she did them, but they do get me going with some inspiration!
They look great so far. Maybe you could make a pretty alphabet quilt with some of these blocks - you already have the P and the W :)
