Another month, another ‘Around the Block’ block…well in this case it’s two blocks.
The lovely Lara sent out a great mix of chocolate, orange and blue fabrics and requested strong, bold and clear blocks influenced by stars and pinwheels.
Introducing the Nine Patch Star which measures 12″.
And the ‘Cant’ Stop Spinning’ Pinwheel (who comes up with these names?!?) which also measures 12″
I hope you like the blocks Lara and I look forward to seeing them all together.

these are so pretty…you did such an excellent job. i really like this color combination. fun and warm all at the same time.
Perfect choices Kate.
They look really effective but, looking closely, aren't too crazy to piece together.
Noice!!!!
I love both of these blocks Kate! I think you have chosen two really great blocks and have done a wonderful job!!

You are quite the perfectionist aren't you? These look amazing! I wish I had been able to join in with this…you must let me know about it next time, okay?
Lara IS extremely happy with these blocks! They are just lovely Kate – thanks so much!
Great blocks!!!! and those colours are yummy!!
They look fabulous!
Lara is going to have a stunning quilt, your blocks are beautiful.
Whoever comes up with the block names, is the wife of the dude who comes up with the house paint names. Obviously.
I love that warm chocolate colour with the blue and your blocks are incredible. I could never get the points to meet like that! x
wow how awesome are those pin wheels! :D one lucky gal
Great pinwheels Kate, I'm looking forward to doing some in the Beehive.
Excellent blocks Kate and such great fabric combo's to work with. That pin wheel really does spin!
They look amazing!
