Mystery to Me Quilt - squares and strips

I've been gradually making blocks for my Mystery to Me Quilt which I started in March this year. I wrote about the initial nine flower blocks in this post. I still don't have a definite design but all my blocks are a multiple of 1.5" on each side (+ the seam allowance) and I'm making multiples of nine of each type of block.

Here are 18 square blocks measuring 5".

I really think that blue in the bottom right corner may have to go!

9 square blocks measuring 6.5"

9 square blocks measuring 8"

and 18 stripey blocks 2" x 5"

Finally 9 rather odd blocks measuring 5" square.

Believe it or not, these were inspired by the quilts of Erin Wilson. I just love the way that her blocks all contain parts of buildings - they look so interesting. I decided to sew parts of flowers in the centres of my blocks and I really like the effect!

Now I've started sewing blocks which contain circles - you can never have too many circles in a quilt! :)

Here is a pic of the 9 flower blocks that I made first:

Something else that I've been making, and finally finished this week, is a banneton for my sourdough. I used it for the first time today.

It is made with 3 strips of curtain material, plaited and coiled, and held together with thin string. When I use it I line it with a piece of linen cloth before adding the dough.
