A Quilter's Block: Attic Window (Block #31)

Today I am so exhausted and emotionally drained. It is just one of those days when I really have to push myself. My brain wants rest - it is overworked, my eyes want to rest on something pleasant, like the peaceful cool green of the country side. Living in a large city makes me miss the trees and mountains that were such a easy distance before.

And so I pushed mysef to keep going and make today's block, Attic Window. It was another one of those blocks I was trying to avoid making. But like it or not I had to make it. I'm doing all the blocks in order as they appear in on the Quilter's Cache website. It's really a wonderful resource for quilters and has so many quilt blocks with directions and other useful quilting tips. Today's block Attic Window was a little tricky. It has those off set seams that I am realizing very quickly that I am not fond of. But all in all it turned out OK. Look at the picture, it is a little uneven in some areas. There is one little spot where it has a slight wrinkle. I like the over all look of the block. It certainly has a 3D quality to it. And so here is the one I did. Click the picure of the block to get directions.

Here are some exmaples of what a whole quilt might look like. Some of these really just pop off the page. For those who like geometrics and tesselating designs this block is for you.
