Blocks to Share
First I want to thank everyone for the pattern love from my Kaleidoscopic Kites quilt. I really hope that if anyone makes a quilt from it, you will send me a photo. I would love to see them!
I was planning on waiting to share these (and more) blocks when I had one of my next projects finished, but I am just horrible at waiting. So I will share, but I will save the final plan for them to be a surprise. No, they won’t be in a quilt together. 
The first block features fabric from Heather Ross’s Far, Far Away I collection as well as bits and pieces I somehow have of F lea Market Fancy. And speaking of Heather Ross, she just unveiled her fabric for Far, Far Away III.
The second block was made mostly with fabric from Laurie Wisbrun.
I hope everyone had a happy Easter holiday. I had to share these pictures with you – I figured anyone with a toddler and/or preschooler could commiserate. These are just a few of my failed attempt to photograph them together. Oh well, maybe next year!

Fun pics of the kids!!
Very sweet
That’s how the pics of my preschooler and toddler usually go, too! Yours are adorable, even if not photographly (hehe) cohesive 
Such pretty blocks!!
very cute!! The blocks..and the kids!
Adorable kids. Love her dress. and also your blocks!
Both of those blocks have great direction. I really like the black in the first one, which is odd for me. So, do you start many of your quilts by making a single block?
Hi Rachel – thank you! These will end up being something other than quilts.
But! I do love to start quilts with just one block like this. I really enjoy sewing blocks without a plan or template. The pictures in this quilt aren’t the best, but I made all the blocks “improv style” and it turned out to be a lot of fun.

Both blocks are nice, I particularly like the second one, you have highlighted the animals beautifully.
Trying to photograph children….sometimes easier if a third (non-parent) party can help out. A few years ago I tried to photograph our then 7 children together as requested by my father-in-love. Dozens of shots over two days finally yielded one which was mostly satisfactory, and it wasn’t the youngest one who was the most difficult…..
