New quilt blocks

My friend is involved in a project to make quilt blocks for each of the countries participating in the London Olympics in 2010. She invited members of our guild to participate and I signed up for Egypt and Seychelles.

The Egypt block is based on a quilt block called "Moon over the mountains" which just happens to translate really well as a pyramid.

The Seychelles one is a stylized sailfish in the colors of their flag. The sailfish is on their coat of arms. The red triangle design is called "flying geese" so it is a kind of joke about the flying fish. I don't now if anyone will get it, but it amuses me :)
