I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston a couple weeks ago and there was a quilt exhibit. And there was a quilt done in the "Rob Peter to Pay Paul" pattern that I loved - it was done in two plain contrasting colors. So at home I doodled in my sketchbook for a while to try out color ideas and remembered I had a magazine with a paper pattern for this block. (Thanks, Mom.) Then I looked through my fabric and found a red-orange silk/linen and a teal linen, colors I was thinking of using.
An hour or so later, and here's the test blocks:

Definitely not perfect, and I need to square up the blue corner....but well, it's a start. I just read that this is a square for "experienced" quilters. Guess I'll just give it a try, anyway!
I also sewed the bottom band on Lucy's dress and neglected to take a picture, and have a shirt for me half-way done with no photo. Photographer, I am not.
