Exchange Blocks

Another round, or two, of block exchanges.  All of the blocks for the modern block exchange come from the Modern Blocks book compiled by Susanne Woods.
Regatta for Sandy S.:

Mondrian for Connie D.:

The center of the block is part of the state of Montana printed on Printed Treasures fabric.  When the map parts were getting handed out, I shouted for Blaine County since that is where I am from.  Connie had suggested we embellish our blocks with something specific to that location.
Since we raised beef cattle and wheat, I embroidered a cow and a stalk of wheat on my block.  Again, I searched on the internet to find the graphic I wanted to stitch on the block.

Close up of my stalk of wheat:

Pogo Stick for Carla D.:

Binary Block for Kaethe P.:

I had enough fabric so I made two Binary Blocks for Kaethe P.:



Shadows in the Alleyways for Rita B.:

Pinball Machine for Carol F.:

Potager for Nancy S.:

Stargazing for Lynn:

The two blocks I did for block exchange for YVQG day guild were both black and white.  That was handy because then I only had to dig through my stash once.
