You might remember this block and its siblings, which I sent out to a bunch of you who wanted the challenge of reinventing it.Three have not come back and I hope that they will at some point (ahem) so I can post them. One block never arrived at its destination, sadly. (who would steal a piece of mail with this in the envelope??) And seven of them came back by the deadline. Here, in order of their arrival, are the blocks, which have been made into finished pieces. Wow!
Isn't it fascinating to me to see the varied approaches from this international group?!! They have all imprinted their own "fingerprints" on these experimental pieces. Thanks to all of you for participating -- it CAN be done - LOL. I'll post the last three when I get the jpgs.

Amazing transformation. I especially like Cécile's and KSO's.
Love these, especially Cecile's
My favorit is definitly Karen's quilt, what a fantastic piece of art!
These are SO exciting!
Fabulous!!
I am humbled to have my little tie posted with all this great art. What a fun project!
It is fascinating to see how folks have transformed these. Thanks for sharing.
They ate all fantastic! I love how they were sent all over and a few came back with similar characteristics that had nothing to do with the original block! Lines being the silat effect... Very cool... I want to play!!!
Great results from everyone!
Boy, it's hard for me to pick a favorite! I love the sense of humor in the "rep" tie! and the overpainting in these is fantastic...and I'm a real sucker for the colors and style of Cecile's!
Well done! Thanks for putting these out there, what a wonderful way to transform these!
Yes, aren't they fun?
Wow, all so different but some so similar! That was fun Rayna! Do you have anymore blocks that just need a little love and understanding? That would be fun to do again!

Who'da thought! This is very enlightening. Great challenge.
Great idea and clever results
This challenge was strictly on impulse and if anybody has a UFO they'd like to send out and blog about - DO IT!!
Just let me know so I can see the results. If I had another ugly, I'd do it again. (Actually, I do - but can't part with it).
I am in complete awe... these ladies have some serious talent. Thanks, Rayna! :D
What fun! They are all terrific, but Karen's and Cecile's made me say, " Wow"!
Truthfully if you would have sent me that block I probably would have trashed it! Good thing I wasn't involved and these people were because you got some winners! I am very impressed at how 'ugly' disquises with the right hands in charge. Good idea!
impressive. and a challenge that prods the most reclutant muse. :-)
I think they turned a sow's ear into a silk purse! Great pieces!
Rayna, what a clever girl you are to pass your dead ends on to new geographers. Talk about stone soup! I only wish we had fotos of the originals.
Oh duh...I just got it. They were all that gorgeous blue and yellow square. Some days are smarter than others
Amazing! I particularly like Cecile's. Very clever.
Cool transformations! I vote for Cécile Trentini - Zurich, Switzerland if there's a viewers choice!
Rayna,
These are amazing! What a cool challenge idea!
I love what happened to those blocks.
What a great idea! I particularly like Karen Stiehl Osborn's and Cecile Trentini's.
The creativity in these is astounding!
