WIP Wednesday -- September already!

This week I worked more on my chicken coop than anything.  You see, I am trying to prove to my husband that I can build another chicken coop with things I got for "free" on Craigslist.  More pictures on the coop later this week.  It's getting there...

In the sewing world, I made these three challenge blocks for my local quilt guild (Lynn's challenge.)
Every six months we work on these blocks.  It's kinda like bee blocks.  The "leader" comes up with the block pattern and instructions and provides the focus fabric and tells the color/fabric rules.  The "leader" also has to take all of the blocks received and make a quilt top.  Every time you make a block your name goes into the hat.  The winner is drawn at our annual Christmas party, (and there is another winner in July.) 

These blocks are called Wacky, Wonky, Nine Patch.  They are very easy.
