The wonky Old Italian blocks remind me of Sujata Shah's quilts. (I suppose that Wonky Old Italian may not be a very polite name for a quilt, however.) Just one switchplate? LOL.

Lovely selection of blocks. I can imagine you squirrelling them away until you have about 200 of each one and then voila we have some flimsies!

I love the stars that your broken dishes blocks make! It's so fun to see what happens when you lay blocks out in different ways.

Stack, whack and shuffle methods deliver delightful surprises. Love the combination of purple and orange.
