These cheery looking blocks are for Teresa from Fabric Therapy. They are the February contribution for my monthly online quilting bee. Teresa supplied us with 3" 1930's-style squares and plain rectangles and asked us to supply 8 more 3"squares to produce 2 blocks.
My contribution from my stash
- the blue and white elephants HAD to go in.

Teresa's fabrics - love the tumbling red and white bunnies
(they match the elephants above)
So here you are Teresa- love the block, love the fabrics, hope you like them too.
On another note, I thought you might enjoy a mini-tour of my favourite harbour-these pics were taken over the past few days during my ferry commute to work. It's a pretty special way to get to and from work. (I ignored the looks from my fellow commuters - thinking I was a somewhat strange tourist wearing business attire!)
It must be "cruising season"

Early 1800's Colonial buildings with a replica "Tall Ship"
Circa 1900's finger wharves now used by Sydney Theatre Company, Sydney Dance Company, and a luxury hotel
Luna Park built circa 1920
A stunning Federation-era house at Birchgrove Wharf

Hope you enjoyed th little tour, the weather this week means the shots are not quite so picturesque, but I'm not complaining, the cooler days are very welcome!
Happy quilting. K

What a great way to commute!! I can almost smell the ocean scents....I really miss that, living in a land locked state. Thanks for the great pics :0)

Your 30's blocks are so nice! Its especially welcoming to see them after winter!
Love your photos of the harbour. Enjoy your cooler days.
Thank you for the tour of Sydney Harbour - it is a sight I always enjoy seeing and which brings back many memories. Until 17 years ago I was an Eastern Suburbs resident and always envied the people who travelled to work on a Ferry. Lovely 30s blocks. Take care.
Love the 30s prints! Cute blocks =)
great harbour photos - like a mini-vacation.
your 30s blocks look fresh and pretty!
I was looking at your photo's of the harbour and had to work out how long it was since we were there and I scared myself when I realised it is over 30 years..!!! We used to live in Katoomba a lifetime ago and loved going down to Sydney, time for a trip up north I think. Glad to see you did Teresa's blocks by hand Kate, it's all about the enjoyment after all...

Hi Kate,
LOVE the blocks! And that 30's tulip quilt is divine!! I love your commute...does it get so cold there that it is unpleasant at some times during the year?
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
