on the design table--mid week update

here's a mid-week update as to what's working on my design table.

I began the week by breaking out my 2 charm packs and 1 jelly roll of Moda's Collection for a Cause, Heritage 1846.

I've been saving this for a while now, just waiting for the right inspiration. This week it struck!

i'm turning the charm packs and jelly roll into the pile that you see on the design table; 40 HST's and 40 4 patches. they'll combine together into Railroad Crossing blocks (a block which has many names). The HST's are made and pressed, and tomorrow i'll tackle the 4 patches.
