First up was Katy's block in the Modern Stitching Bee.
She asked for a single large block instead of the usual two, so this biggie is 18.5" x 24.5". Katy's quilt is going to be a variety of icy blue wonky blocks with scrappy pieced centres. Making this reminded me a lot of the wonky grey quilt I made for my brother and I know Katy will have a great quilt when all her blocks are in.
In hipBees Collette has plans for a funky floating log cabin quilt and sent us each a pack of pre-cut strips in a selection of lovely fabrics from her palette of navy, red, coral, yellow, aqua and grey.
I really like how these colours work together (they aren't very true in my photo) and am interested to see Collete's finished quilt top come together. Should be a stunner!
What beautiful blocks, so unique
ReplyDeleteEach block is so different. That is the joy of being in bees - trying out different things. Di x

ReplyDeleteI've loved making all the different blocks, I like how they are all so different. Both quilts are going to look amazing.

ReplyDeleteLove both of these, Sarah! I've been thinking of trying something like the first one or a while... Really drawn to how modern it is!
