With the Block Party quilt along about to get started and all of the new bees popping up over in the flickr group, I’ve had bees on the brain!
I made two more blocks for 12 Squared:
The request was any sort of block you want. Was tough to decide but there’s a lot more fabric so I might make a couple more!
And all of the blocks that I’ve gotten back from Sew Connected 2! I had asked for no triangles and otherwise, no limits! I’m loving the blocks I’ve been getting back. I’m thinking white sashing (am I ever thinking anything else really??) but we’ll see once I’ve gotten all the blocks
Meanwhile slow and steady wins the race (I hope) with quilting the Lantern Bloom quilt. Dang stitching in the ditch (or right next to the ditch as I’ve found works a lot better for me) takes a long time! But I’m getting there! Just a glimpse…
A happy weekend to you all!
The Lantern Bloom quilt is looking great! And I love your Sew Connected blocks – gorgeous!
I love that first block – the off-set square for 12Squared! Mmmmm….diagonal symmetry……
Lovely blocks!!! And I love the quilting on the Lantern Bloom quilt. Clean and simple! I can’t stitch in the ditch to save my life, so I’m with you on stitching riiiight next to the ditch hehe
I LOVE the Sew Connected 2 block with the grey. It really pops.
I can hardly wait to see the big purple quilt! I find along-side the ditch works better for me than actually in the ditch too. The Sew Connected blocks are amazing, I can hardly wait to see how you pull it all together.
Wow, your Sew Connected blocks are fabulous. I’ve just done some next to the ditch quilting today, I’ve found it takes me about 3 times as long as stippling. I’d much rather stipple or other free motion quilt.
I vote for aqau sashing, just to be different! But it isn’t my quilt. Looking good so far.
I meant aqua.
stitching in the ditch does take longer than expected.. but its looking good!!
Amazing patterns, i have to travel into london to find nice stuff like this. Any websites that sell this sort of stuff?
