Profanity Block

So there I was last night at sewing bee - (me and a few friends have been meeting on Thursdays for 20+ years, sewing, knitting, quilting) -  and I was telling a tale of an email I had received from a bloggy pal containing a sweary word that was so in context and made me laugh out loud. This then reminded me of an email I had sent my son at work containing such a word. It was returned to me because of a "Profanity Block" (I then received a mild rebuke from said son).
Anyway, quick as a flash, Lorna from Outside Inspiration,  with the benefit and speed of a youthful mind, said, "is that a new patchwork block"..........
..........which got me thinking - have you a block that reduces you to profanity??
In today's shop class, this block had that effect -
**********!!!!!!!!!!********???????!!!!!!!

  6. Ha I had to check back to see whether it was one of my emails, lol.
    You know how much I love paper piecing, that always makes me swear.
    I love the block, so it was worth the profanity.

  7. Oh Shiela - I can't imagine you swearing! The block looks quite innofensive, but there again I wouldn't know where to start!

  10. I have one favourite proffanity that always makes me feel better! And I have had several blocks where said proffanity has come in handy

  11. What did the poor block do to be so troublesome?! I've not yet discovered my profanity block but I know it's out there...lurking...and rubbing its hands with glee at the thought of all the trouble it's going to cause!

  13. I LOVE the idea of a profanity block!! For me it's more particular days where all the little bugg#rs are profanity blocks rather than a specific block design!

  14. I'm sat here wondering if that was my email you were talking about because I remember you telling me about your email to your son. I have lots of swearing quilty blocks and methods. Helps the process along as far as I can tell.
