First, the catch up blocks. The June block for the Bees Knees group was for Amy of Diary of a Quilter and she asked us to make a 20" Swoon Block, and oh my, I just love the way it turned out!!! I absolutely loved making this with all of those wonderful points to match up!! So fun!!! And the fabrics Amy sent, fabulous!!!! Every time I make one of these blocks for a bee, I tell myself I am going to make the full quilt . . . someday ;)
The June block for the Beejeebers Bee group were these fun X blocks for Cathy ;) We used the ever popular Badskirt Tutorial to make these ;) I love the colors Cathy choose and had a lot of fun putting these together. I had made them before, so they went together super fast, and yes, once again, I loved all of those points to line up :)
And on to July's blocks!!! For the Bees Knees group, Calli from Make it Do asked us to make some traditional T blocks. This was my first time making the T blocks and they were fun and fast. I think I might have to make some more of these in the future ;)
And finally, the July Beejeebers block was for Celeste, and she asked us to make a Quasar Star in wonderful Red White and Blue. I still had all of my scraps out from the Log Cabin Block Swap so this was super easy to pick fabrics for ;) Here is the tutorial we used for the block, and Celeste whipped up these measurements to upsize it to 12".
White (4) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares (8) 2" x 2" squares (8) 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles
Blue (4) 2" x 2" squares (4) 2" x 6 1/2" rectangles
Red (4) 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares (4) 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles (4) 2" x 5" rectangles
And of course, I totally want to make an entire quilt of these. So pretty!!!!
I am starting to notice a trend that with each new month's bee block, I add another quilt to my ever growing list of quilts I want to make. Please tell me I am not the only one that does this ;)
But all is well, because I am all caught up ;) For the next week at least ;)
Have a Happy Quilting Day!!!!
