No honestly Iminei, I'm not trying to upset Lownea but I must admit I like blue and green. Sorry Low.

Here is my block, kept it simple.  Really like the look of this block design so will probably be using it for things at some point.

Thank you, think I might make a few more plain ones in similar shades and make a sewing machine cover, not got enough fabric for a quilt and these ones need used up - I have had them for about 10 years longer than I have been sewing or had a sewing machine.

I finally got this one done and decided I'd like it a bit bigger, so here's the result. It took 3 attempts though. First one I got the angle all wrong, second one I managed to cut one of the strips shorter than the rest, and this one didn't go as planned either, but it was the best of three.  :|

Looks great Supergran... I enjoyed that block

I enjoyed it too once I'd worked out how to do the angles with my ruler. At one point I was twirling the damn thing about like a demented cheer leader. I think if I had plans to do  whole quilt I'd probably treat myself to a 60 degree ruler though.   0_0

But once you get how to cut using the angles it is really incredibly useful!

Anyhoo, lovely stuff and into the BOM HOF you go........
