For this week the block is Cotton Boll. The plantations that grew cotton were in the South so following my own rule for fabric choices this needed to be a block made with grey (Confederate)fabrics:
But I wondered if this might be a little, well plain. So a second block was made using my universal background but with blue fabrics as the main features:
My thinking for this quilt was for it to be a scrappy blues and grey one. But at this rate I will be ending up with more than one quilt! This is now the third week when I have made more than one block. With each succeeding week I seem to agonize more over the fabric choices.

You look at the big white X and see "Plain" - I see - WOW Finally a place I can quilt something significant! I should have thought of it!!!
I agree with Cheryl. The block also represents A COTTON BOLL!!! The quilting can add some texture and you will see how perfectly this block complements the others.
I may have to copy this idea when I do mine....if you don't mind...
I really like the gray cotton boll, and I like it much better than the multi coloured one!!
