Modern Stitching Bee - March 2014


Time for the monthly Bee Blocks again!  I started this month with Di's blocks for the Modern Stitching Bee.  



Asking for jewel toned/ deep fruity toned crosses on a low volume background, Di's choice of block was very kind to us this month and, of course, the LV charm swap I was gifted was super handy when it came to having an adequate LV selection.

Di shared with us a picture of a quilt that inspired her to ask for these blocks and although the very mixed LV background of quilts isn't something I have absolutely warmed to just yet, this quilt really did look amazing.  I think the trick (for me) is to make sure there's a really marked contrast between the LV and the other design elements of the block.  Perhaps I can be converted yet?

In any case, I'm sure Di will have gorgeous blocks buzzing their way back to her very shortly and I look forward to seeing her quilt finish in due course.

  2. Lovely blocks, and yes Di was very kind this month :) I didn't immediately 'get' LV but I did once I saw a quilt in the flesh then I was converted. I think LV will eventually pass like ash grey did...wonder what will be next?

  5. I'm like you - a slow convert to the LV prints. That said, I love what they're looking like in my medallion. There just needs to be MASSIVE contrast - no matchy matchy b/c then it just looks awful.

  7. Great blocks, Sarah! I haven't jumped on the LV bandwagon yet, either, but I do like some of the LV pieces you've got there. That animal sounds swatch in the second block is SO cute!
