Gypsy Wife Week 8

Week 8 is Puss in the Corner and the first week where two blocks are required.  I had fun changing the fabric placement in them to make them appear to be different patterns:

The alligator block looks like a chunky little churn dash, one of my favorite blocks!  The surfers' colors follow the placement from the pattern - don't they look like they are getting ready to go catch a wave?  I'm getting antsy to start piecing this together; I might even finish it ahead of schedule!
