I Double Dipped

Here I am!

I have resurfaced!

I am so sorry to be such a bad bee!

It is my New Year's resolution to get it together and catch up on 

my blocks!

Especially since  on Monday's I host a Block of the Month Rehab

on my blog.

So, I kind of double dip when I can show my Bee blocks!

I thought after making the renegade blocks using 

"free form" (which was ironically stressful for me). that

this paper pieced block would be nice and easy...

but it wasn't so.

I stressed over each and every seam... and it took me 

forever to make. But... whining aside, it is a beautiful block

and I can't wait to see all of them together,

I am so glad that I am a part of this group... it gives me a way to stretch and

grow as a quilter.

But, non-the-less, I was happy to get Trish's block

and make up a simple and sweet little block...

I had to go ahead and make another, especially since I had some of the

same fabrics in my stash. 

I had emailed back and forth with Nedra and she clarified that Trish

had wanted a Churn Dash block style, which is the same as

the block photo she provided...

just different fabric placement.

I also just used a solid white background fabric for the half

square triangles... because I didn't want the block to 

look too busy and the directional print would have been all wonky I thought.
