Tell Me a Story Part 3

Here are some of the blocks I've made, along with their stories, for Amy Friend's Tell Me a Story quilt block challenge. The pattern for these blocks can be found in Amy's new book Intentional Piecing.  See my two previous posts for more info on this fun challenge!

Tiffany grew up in the Keys and had always dreamed of anchoring the water ski pyramid team*, but last week's close call with the gator had her thinking that maybe it was time to hang up her bikini & bathing cap and open a cupcake cafe with her little sister.

*When I was 7 or 8 or 9 we went to Florida and watched a water ski show featuring ramp jumping and human pyramids. I'm pretty sure the announcer mentioned the threat of alligators every 5 minutes. Or maybe I'm making that part up.

Rhonda had earned her all-around cord, so she was well-versed in always being prepared. She never left home without a handbag full of spare parts.

Gerald and Tiffany made me laugh the second time 'round as well. Although I must say I love your NRFPT stories a teensy bit more. ;0)
