I could not stop after one block for the first example! I need to put a border (maybe in a warm chocolate batik look) to finish it. Pamina (Laurence) made a similar block but in different colours.
I chose the colours of the second block after having seen some red and white combinations on different blogs, for ex. at Hanne´s and at Anne´s. The finished block is 12" x 12" and I still don´t know what I will make of it. Maybe a cushion?
Everything was sewed with freezer paper which I like because it is so precise and I can re-use it many times.
Update: Bea pointed out that 2 links didn´t work. I have changed them and I hope that now everything works.

Gwen, that sampler is beautiful - I wish I could come and join your class! And I really like the red and white block - I think it will look wonderful as a cushion.
And thanks for linking to my recent white and red blocks! They are part of my SBS, so I'm affraid the whole quilt isn't going to be white and red - it's scrappy white/cream/yellow for backgrounds, and scrappy greens and reds for focus colours.
Gwen, thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment. This is my first time visiting your blog. Your work is wonderful, so skillful, and your color choices are beautiful.
Gwen, Thanks for visiting and commenting about my vintage blocks.
I LOVE the sampler quilt you are showing. The colors look great and I think a brown batik to finish it would be really nice.
What a lovely red and white block Gwen :-)

The block examples are incredible, the hand piecers will have a most accomplished instructor! Is the quilt shown from a Sharyn Craig book? The set-ins can be tricky but fun!
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
The sampler is beautiful. You were right, you use a lot taupes. I like them combined with that blue!
i love your red and white block. So much work in it. I would love to go to your class so you could show me how to make one.
