Once again, it is the very end of the month and I am finishing my bee blocks. But hey, they are still going out on time, I just seem to keep migrating to the last minute on them :) This month's bee blocks were so much fun because they were a la Christmas. Really, what is more fun than stitching away cheery Christmas fabric while listening to Christmas music :) It just makes you smile.
The first is this Wonky Star block for Sinta. I was so excited to make this block because I have always loved the pattern, Starry Eyed by Angela from Fussy Cut for the Moda Bake Shop and wanted to try it out, but never made the time. I have never tried making a wonky star before and now I have, and it was so much fun!!
Lindsay asked us to make some super quick and super fun 16 patch blocks. Isn't it fun how something so basic can be so exciting when put together in a super scrappy layout. I can't wait to see this quilt top come together ;) So fun!!
And, I even have a head start on next month's Bee blocks as it is my month for Bees Knees and I already made my block so I could make a little tutorial. You can find the tutorial here. I just love how this block turned out. I can't wait to see all of the improv greatness that comes in my mail box this month :) Yippee Skippee!!
And that is it for September Bee Blocks, Maybe next month I won't procrastinate finishing them until the end of the month, but only time will tell :)
Have a Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Isn't it great to be a Bees Knees? Your tutorial makes the Christmas trees look easy. I'm looking forward to giving them a try.
ReplyDeleteMelissa!!! I love the star block!!! I really love the tree, too!!! I have just got to play with some Christmas fabric now. There are some lucky ladies out there who are going to receive those blocks,
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the improv trees - so many possibilities. I'm working my way up to Christmas sewing (nearly done with Halloween!) and I can see tons of things to do with this!
ReplyDeletebeautiful blocks, Melissa! I love seeing all of the Christmas stuff popping up!

Well done! I'm normally at the tail end of the month with mine, but this month I was done by the 1st, and I've been like a bit of a knotless thread...
ReplyDeleteOh Melissa your blocks are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove them all, very cute. Really like the Wonky Star it is a great block, the border around it makes it fun, been looking for a block pattern for my Denyse Schmidt collection, layer cake of Shelbourne Falls, lol. this just might do the trick, putting it on my 2014 list.
ReplyDeleteNice! I really like those, especially the little improv tree.
ReplyDeleteNice stuff. Love the tree in particular.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely and great use of fabrics
ReplyDeleteThese look great! By the way Melissa, I got an Honorable Mention on my Star Surround in the State Fair of Va! Thanks again.
