February's bee blocks got made quite quickly. I was lucky that both Rachael and Stacey chose fun blocks to make. For the Bliss circle of do.GoodStitches, we made scrappy blocks based on a Christa Watson pattern in American Patchwork and Quilting. It was great to dip into my scrap bin. I pulled out some of the last scraps of a few favorite fabrics for these blocks. I quite enjoyed making them and could see myself making more in a large scale for a cushion.
For the mojo bee, Stacey chose intersection blocks from Film in the Fridge. I'm looking forward to seeing both of these quilts put together.
happy crafting, amy badskirt.
Love these blocks and the title of your post; had to think which song it came from (Bye Bye Miss American Pie). It's very appropriate since these blocks are wonderful (I was just looking at the pattern for the top block yesterday) and I want to make some now and you will be saying bye bye to these blocks (you are keeping one set for yourself?)
ReplyDeleteReally great blocks! Nice to see you sewing again.
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for jumping right in with do. Good Stitches, Amy. Those scrap bin blocks were a good bee choice. I chose a kind of boring plan for my bee mates this January, sad face. It was a rushed choice. Now I'm going to have to challenge myself to do something interesting with the blocks. Sometimes working within constraints is the best way to get creative =)
