Catching up on my Quilt Bee Blocks

Another round of the NYC Metro Mod's Lucky 13 Bee started in spring, and I signed up knowing I'd be pushed to get the early blocks done due to the dreaded thesis. But I managed to complete all of them so far, even if a few were mailed late with apologies.

February - A scrappy hexagonal log cabin. We were provided the center piece and several scraps to which we were to add as many of out own as we liked.

March - Two 6.5" squares made from mid blues. We were sent some scraps and asked to add our own.

 April - We were sent the paper templates, the red bunting fabric and several strips. We were asked to have the bunting central and either a red corner or a black and white corner. I didn't manage to get very wonky with these but hopefully they work!

May - Pink HSTs that I didn't photograph for some reason....

June -  We were sent the fussy cut center fabric and asked to make wonky log cabins with colours that were not those dominant in the center.

July - Kaffe Fassett stripes and dark Japanese prints to be combined with solids of our choosing into straight log cabins.

 

August - A water themed block making use of beautiful hand-dyed fabric. I took inspiration from here.

September - We were asked to sew up this variation on a drunkards path using fabrics that told something about who we were as a quilter, and using the Essex Linen in black for the background. Before making a quilt for my friend Jeff, I had zero orange fabric in my stash but since then it's become something of my signature colour with these three prints in particular cropping up time and time again. I only shattered one needle while sewing this, all those pins were more than my machine could take!

October is my Bee Month. I ran out to the fabric store yesterday to pick up some yardage and I'm going to make a quick tutorial over the next day or so. I'm excited.
