Sewing on a Small Scale

I am in a swapping group over on Flickr called The Bitty Block Committee.  This group makes and swaps 3.5 inch blocks according to the monthly themes.  I've been following the group for several months but they didn't have any openings until recently.  I was soooooooo excited to be able to join..........and also a bit intimidated by the level of work they do.   There are always two themes per month and members can do one or both.  I am starting with just one!   This month I was in a Pirate group.

Here are the blocks I made - Captain Peg Leg:

I have received some wonderful blocks in return -- a ship, a treasure map, pirate girl, parrot & more -- but words just can't describe how amazing these little works of art are!  You have to go peek at the Flickr group pool.
Next month it's black & white with one other color (mine is aqua) with the design of our choice.  I already have an idea for mine and can't wait to see what the others come up with.

What a clever block! What are the blocks like that you got in return. Oh, I know. I better go look at your newer posts. Maybe you posted them already.
