This is the bottom center block. The second one that I made was the left center one. The fabric that she sent that I used in this one was the burgundy oak leaf design in the center. 
The organizer of this quilt converted the patterns that were in the magazine to paper-pieced designs. It took me a pretty long time, and a special trip to a quilt shop 45 minutes away from here, to come up with fabrics that I hope she will approve of!The other quilt I am helping with is a log cabin design - I have one of them partially finished and have selected the fabrics for the other one, and hope to finish them both today. No quilting since Friday night -- we spent the weekend painting our hallway. We finished just in time for me to watch the last few laps of the Daytona 500! None of my favorite drivers finished in the top three but it was an exciting finish!

Very pretty. Paper piecing terrifies me so I have not yet attempted to do it. Sure makes the points look terrific!
Really pretty. I love paper piecing and the way everything comes out so straight and even. That is going to be a beautiful quilt.
The colors are great...the points perfect. I like paper piecing because of the accuracy but it sometimes takes more time and more fabric too. Your blocks look very good. I know these quilts will be stunners...Let us see them when you're done.
I painted my living room and long hallway paper sack brown with white trim...I love it. Browns are so earthy. I was sore for days from the painting but sure like the effects.
Great blocks! We made it home just in time to watch the end of the race which is always the best part!
WOW, those are fantastic blocks!! You did such a great job.
As always you do such a great job!!! I love the blocks and the fabrics, everything looks so perfect.

Very nice blocks! I think the colors you chose are perfect. And such a great idea to make quilts for an ALA auction. I was more involved in SLA during my library days but would have loved to participate in such a project. The kitties are getting ready for the race tomorrow - they always take a few practice laps through the house as a warm up!
Wow! Those are gorgeous blocks!!!! Beautiful colors. Nicely done:0)
