Block ideas finally flowing....

..........for the March block of the Modern Quilt Block design contest that I've been participating in.  Between work being a zoo, and trying to think of a way to make the two options (airplane and boat) fit with what I'd already done a design just wouldn't cooperate with me back during the March entry period.

I think I've finally come up with a design that I can live with.  =)   Well, actually I have two possibilities on layout....now to decide which ones I like better.  

I am looking at some 3D piecing possibilities as well on this design, but haven't made up my mind on them yet.

Nice thing is that I can piece this block design in just one section (well 4 sections, but one PP'd pattern section) which means it will be easier to deal with.

For colors on the sails, I'm thinking of colors along the lines of what I used in the block in the center of the bottom row in the pic showing my blocks finished to this point.

Which block layout do you think looks better?

Gratitudes:

1. Even though there is a lot to think about, I have received a contract for the next school year.

2. No rain so far today!
