CastleStar Block
Fractured Rolling Star Block

Combined Castlewall and Eight-pointed Star blocks.
I drew lines into the empty areas of a Rolling Star Block. This can be paper-pieced rather well.

Quarter Dutch Tile Motif
Dutch Tile Motif

This quarter motif was traced from a picture in a book. It was a great exercise in flipping and breaking and joining of nodes.
The quarter motif was combined to form the full motif

This Way
Point me the Way

This block I designed as the secondary to Point me the Way.
I created this block just playing around in EQ, as you do. When the April Challenge came up I used it for my submission. Settling on one colouring was the challege.

Kirsten Yee
Single Petals
Double Petals with Corners

Drawn as an alternate block for Single Petals. Originally the corner triangles were at the center of the block. Experimenting with the quilt layouts led to rearranging the block for easier paper piecing. Quilt shows alternated with Single Petals block. Also interesting on its own in a diagonal set--especially with sashing.
Experimenting with alternating Double Petals and Single Petals blocks in a diagonel set no sashing led to this alternate block for Single Petals. Idea was to bring more focus to the emerging "square" shapes.

This is my very first time of participating in this challenge, Even those I have had EQ for many yrs, I know it's a simple block, but it gave me a chance to get in on this challenge. Paper-piecing is what I love to do, so this block had that in mind when I design it, also Love earth and pastels colors.

Jo Moury
Hacienda

These blocks are based on the flooring tiles on a historic hacienda in Coraso Puerto Rico. These tiles used in the construction of the home were shipped from Spain in the mid 1800's. I was having trouble deciding what to design for this challenge until we went of vacation early this month!! I can see actually making this as a wall hanging "on of these days"

Cardinal applique
Hummingbird at feeder

I drew this block after taking a Patch Draw class at Quilt University with Patti Anderson. It's one of a series of bird appliques that I drew from bitmaps.
I love to watch the hummingbirds at our feeders and I love to paper piece, so I designed this block for paper piecing while I wait for the hummingbirds to return to our area.

Tulip leaves

Ever noticed how fresh and clean the flowers are in the spring? Now you know who's responsible for keeping them that way.
I tried to give this, my first and only original paper pieced block (so far), a feeling of thickness or weight.

Ellen Easter
Ellens Basket 2
Leaves & Cherries

I love applique and English Paper Piecing as they are both very transportable. This is a variation of Album block, turned into a basket block. I imagine this with some appliqued flowers or fruit.
I started with block 1530 in Blockbase. The block is known as Melon Patch. Added the 'cherries' to block to give it a Baltimore feel.
