February Blocks:
Sherri requested these scrappy x blocks for Nittany Block Party. I really love how these turned out, and I think I might steal the idea for myself when I have the time. :)
Rene requested these improvisational cross blocks for 1 Year 12 Quilts Bee. I very much enjoyed the challenge of inventing my own block patterns.
Shelly requested these cropped nine patch triangles for Modern Quilt Bee. This is quite a fun block to make.
January Blocks:
Wanda requested log cabin blocks with "people" fabrics in the centers for Nittany Block Party. I used some vintage fabrics from my grandmother's stash for the centers:
Kelly requested paper pieced Christmas tree blocks for Tethered Threads Bee 2. These were my first paper pieced blocks and they were super fun.
Donna requested Twirling Star blocks for 1 Year 12 Quilts Bee: This was my second paper pieced block, and I am so glad I did the easier tree blocks first. This block was definitely harder, and it helped not to be figuring out the paper piecing aspect of things at the same time. Even though it was hard, I am so glad that Donna picked this block. Look how gorgeous it is! I am really confident now that I can handle whatever paper piecing comes my way.
Melissa requested wonky log cabin blocks using Munki Munki fabrics that she provided for Modern Quilt Bee. I had so much fun with these that I ended up making an extra block. I really love the dark brown and orange together. It's on my future-quilt-color-scheme list. No, I don't really have such a list. Except in my head.
Whew! Unfortunately, I don't have the fabric yet for Tethered Threads 2, so the February blocks may end up being a little late.
Dang, that's a lot of bees and a lot of blocks! I especially love the yellow and green twirling star block. I can't believe you're a newbie at that, because it looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of Bee's. To be honest, I'm jealous. The Tethered Threads Block Party 2 has been my first bee and I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteHow do I find more???
Kudos to you.....I'm having a hard time keeping it all straight for two bees. Strong work!! XOX
ReplyDeleteHey Ruth! Do you have the paper pattern for the twirling star block you did? I think I'm in love with it... and it would be perfect for my blocks for my month of my quilting bee.
