July Cottage Quilting Bee

Why yes, it is August and I just got my July blocks out in the mail. I hate to be late. I'll skip the excuses. My high school cross country coach used to say, "Excuses are like noses. Everybody has one."

Tina, who is the fearless leader of the Cottage Quilting Bee and blogger over at Little Blue Cottage sent out some yellows with red and gray accents. She requested blocks reminiscent of Gee's Bend. I was fortunate enough to see the Gee's Bend exhibit when visiting Auburn University a few years ago with my husband. It was very inspirational and the quilts were beautiful.




Adina sent out pretty oranges and greens and requested two triangles of stripes. I am looking forward to seeing this one all together. I have a feeling the effect will be pretty neat.



I promise to get my blocks done on time this month. Promise.
