Block #43 - Half Full

Block Name: Half Full

Size: 6"

Technique: Paper Piecing

Today I ask the age old question: Is your glass half full or half empty? I'm a half full girl myself, hopelessly optimistic (isn't that an oxymoron?). This is a super easy block to paper piece, one unit and only five pieces of fabric! Have fun!

Block #18 - Terra Cotta Pot

Block Name: Terra Cotta Pot

Size: 6" (finished)

Technique: Paper-Pieced

Today we have an empty terra cotta pot to paper-piece. Why is it empty? Because this is what most of my container gardening pots look like...empty (or at least with dead or dying plants in them). I simply do not have a green thumb and I must say that I admire those that do!
