Year before last I won the Grand Prize drawing in Melissa of Happy Quilting's Tetris Sew Along Challenge. With that gift certificate from Intrepid Threads I got some lovely Amy Butler prints. I'm using those fabrics and some black on white prints for background to make my quilt in the Goodnight Irene Sew Along hosted by Terry of Terry's Treasures. Pictured are the first two rows.
And here is a close up. (Sorry. Night pictures.) Because I want to make my quilt to fit a twin bed, I'll make at least 10 blocks each month.

Your blocks look fabulous! I love the black and white prints you're using for the background! :0)
This is so cool! Great use of Amy Butler fabrics and I just love the b/w background.
Very nice - it looks a lot like the Arkansas Crossroads block. Love it!
The white with black is perfect with those prints.
OMGosh! I love it...especially the black & white print. Seeing yours makes me excited about seeing the completed top.
Marvelous! Do you have a good source and/or designer for your b&w prints?
OMG! I love the white print fabric you chose for your quilt. It's going to be a gorgeous quilt.
Yessss! You are making kisses, too. (Only you are doing it the smart way!) Love the variety of the prints - both the colored and b&w. Beautiful.
