Quilt Block and WIP

I decided at the last minute to make up a modern quilt block for Quilt Story's Block Party contest.  Click on their icon to see all of the other entries!

I made this block based on my "New Orleans" quilt.

This quilt is also my WIP for Freshly Pieced blog's "WIP Wednesday" today.  That button is on the right.  I can't wait to see what others are working on!  I'm going to link up to both place (can I do that?).  I started quilting it today, and am going to be doing a lot of walking foot lines.  I still haven't entirely decided if or how to free motion quilt it.  Hopefully I'll have something to show here in the next few days!!
