"Fantasy Art" Themed Blocks for ICQA Swap

My 6 "Naked" Blocks for a CQI Swap

 This past week, I've been working on cutting and sewing 6 "naked" blocks for a Crazy Quilters International (CQI) swap that started today.  The swap involves 5 other crazy quilters.  Each member of our group comes up with a theme of their own and sews 6 blocks.  The blocks travel together to each of the quilters and each person in rotation selects a block and embellishes it.  The rotation continues until all 6 blocks come home (5 will be embellished and 1 will be left for me to work on).  This type of rotation swap is called a DYB (Do Your Block) swap.

I decided to use a "Fantasy Art" theme and used pieces by Josephine Wall (yes, I have permission to use her images!).  I just love her paintings, they're amazing...very colorful and full of intricate details.
