Eff Blocks

Some of you may need to put on your pearls to clutch, but I thought I'd share what I've been working on the last few days anyways...

Katie and Daisy asked if anyone was interested in doing a F*ck Block swap, similar to the one that resulted in this awesome quilt.

 Origin of this quilt is from the Completely Cauchy blog - 

she is fabulous, I highly recommend you check her work out.

I said, why the eff not? Yes, it's a crude, ugly word. Yes I use it. Often in my head. Particularly while driving or sewing difficult parts of a quilt. Never around my kids, although I have thought it in relation to this book. 

 If you haven't read this book, run don't walk, to your local bookstore, 

and take the 2 minutes it takes to do so. Get ready to die laughing. 

It is fabulous - especially if you've "been there!"

 

And I really like how it's used in this way:

Yes please.

So there are 5 of us doing this round, making 1 F*ck block to send to each. I thought about various ways to make my block, and in the end decided to do a little scrappy paper piecing of the letters. Not sure which way I should lay the word out though....what do you think?

This way:
