Like Buses!

So it seems that our Bee Blessed quilts are like buses at the minute.  We had been waiting a while for some finishes to come along and now there are lots coming along at once! If you missed them, other recently finished quilts are posted here and here, but today I can show this pretty starflower quilt.

Doesn't it look great?  I love how rich it looks with all the non-white solids we used for the backgrounds.  Very soon this quilt is being donated to a mother and her teenage daughter who are facing tough times just now.

As always, we couldn't do this without your help, so HUGE THANKS!  We have lots more lovelies to come as a result of you giving generously of your time and fabric stashes to make blocks for us, so keep your eyes peeled on this blog and Judith's.

TTFN!

Giant Star Quilt

Jeni Baker's Vintage Star pattern was on my to do list for ages before I set to piecing the giant star whilst on my summer hols this year. I've been spending some time this past week quilting and binding this Bee Blessed quilt so that it doesn't migrate on to my UFO list accidentally. Here she is -

It was a very satisfying quilt top to make, and I really love the idea of enlarging block designs to make a dramatic quilt, perhaps more suitable for folks who mightn't be so keen on smaller, fussier patchwork. Hmmm, brain beginning to get ahead of me again ...

I also snuck in some more wonky crosses blocks for the man quilt - I'm loving the deep reds and yellows together.

Until next time ...
