Some Things Just Look Better Liberated....

Who doesn't love a traditional block with a quirky twist?  I adore the Shoo-fly block....every little thing about it.
I love the simplicity of the block...and then there is the name....Shoo-fly....how fabulous is that?
But a Shoo-fly block done with abandon is just the bees knees!




Whew!  It has been a busy week....this little bit of block fun was much needed!
Hope you are having a great weekend!

  10. Your shoo-flys are brillant! I too have been enchanted with the shoo-fly lately, they are simple but really nice. The orange background is also wonderful.

  14. First I should say Iove the boldness of the orange (which I haven't had the nerve to step past a neutral shade of white), but the wonky triangles are so cool!! I love the idea. What is the pink fabric with orange & white circles? very cool ;-)
