Catch-Up

I need to play catch up... which will likely consist of several posts about recent sewing projects. I'll start by posting about my blocks from last month's Cottage Qulting Bee. There were two different designers last month.



Katy from I'm a Ginger Monkey selected these pretty fabrics. That solid light blue colored fabric is silk. I wanted to appliqué hence the two pieces that form sort of an "L" shape. Beyond the applique, I had trouble deciding how to design this block. One reason is that when there is a larger pattern, like the colorful bird pattern in the center of the block, I don't want to cut it up into smaller pieces. My fellow bee-mates had some very nice ideas.



Katie from Metrosupial Designs commissioned these blocks. We received different color themes and my batch of fabrics were pretty blues. Katie has such pretty fabrics and I enjoyed working with them. It was kind of therapeutic to cut each small square, make each row, and bring it all together. I cannot wait to see this quilt finished.

Back with more later!
