I know clubs of any shape or form are all about shared interest but sooner or later they all turn to intense for me.
So you can imagine that I would not be so keen to join a Bee but on the other hand I love the idea of helping to create 12 quilts throughout a year. So I joined the Brit Bee and am loving it (phew.....)
The first month we made blocks for Trudi who wanted us to make 2 blocks each of the LynneBobSquarepants.
Trudi meanwhile received most of the blocks and put the layout together which looks truly stunning.
Next on for the month of June was Fiona who asked us to to make here disappearing 9-patches and this is what I came up with:
A little bold with the white square but I think it brightens the finished quilt up and Fiona wanted us all to make different versions.
I am asking for two different blocks each using both colors and other than that give the Ladies creative Freedom. I already found out that this kind of brief is bliss for some and torture for others. Oh dear !!! My inspiration comes from this stunning quilt which also happens to be a Bee quilt.
I can't wait to receive the blocks back. This is so exciting.
Happy sewing everybody.

Blocks look brill! And I'm so looking forward to fondling the oakshot stuffs :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks, and I'm looking forward to thinking up what I'm going to do with that Oakshott! Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteJust headed over to look at the red & white, it is outstanding - I am sure yours will be just as stunning.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you would love a quilt like that, it's stunning - how would you know if they all made the same block?? I'm sure it will turn out to be a stunner and I can't wait to see the finished result. Equally I am desperate to join a bee and hope to get involved with the next round.
