A Parade of Bee Blocks... and November's Reveal

I have accumulated several blocks that needed to find their way

back to the hive!

I was a busy bee trying to catch up on my blocks last week.
I hope you all forgive me for being so sporadic.

The good news is that you get to see a bunch of 
our bee blocks all at once!!!

Starting here with Amy's block! 

This one was a wee bit challenging for me... and I did a little

miscalculation at one point in the cutting. 

Amy bailed me out and sent me another piece of the background fabric to get me back

on track!

I finally got it finished!

Yeah!

This one is April's block. 

An original design! 

She is so smart to figure this out!

I hope I made mine right. The fabrics are so fun...

I love seeing the other finished blocks being posted

of hers!

The next block was for the alphabet quilt that Abby 

chose as her Bees Knees project.

I thought this was such a great idea and wished that

I would have thought of it for a group project here.

I present:The letter M!

But really, this was too easy, and I wish I would have

another letter to do. If we each would have had two letters...

Abby would be nearly finished with the alphabet!

Moving on...

I have the letter "T"

Oh my gosh! I love these fabrics! Denyse Schmidt

fabrics are always a favorite of mine!

I can't wait to see this quilt get put together!

(no pressure Calli)

This is Cynthia's block. 

Another super fun idea... to use a block from 

the Farm Girl Vintage book.

Not surprisingly, we all had a copy of that!

I still need to make that block for my sampler...

so I am going to go ahead and make another one to send

to Cynthia while I'm at it.

Now, Sherri's block

was another fun one.

I didn't jump on board the HST sampler craze when

it was going on. Not that I didn't save all my 

bonus HST's... I have a nice collection now...

maybe getting to make this one for Sherri will

give me the little nudge I need to start playing with those

cute little bonus squares on the design board!

I also wanted to show you....

something that makes me smile when I look at it...

Do you remember making these blocks for me?

I love this quilt so much!
Thank you all for helping me make it! 

I had a couple missing blocks but I went ahead and finished putting

this one together! I thought that when the other blocks come back I will just

make them into matching pillows!

Now, I am caught up.

I have mailed all your blocks (shown above) out

to you beautiful people, so watch for them in your mail box!

Along with the returning blocks I have added my project for

November!

(I have mailed the fabrics for this project out now to everyone)

This is the project I have picked from Red Pepper Quilts.

She made this into a gorgeous quilt.

I fell in love with it the moment I saw it on Pinterest!

There is a great tutorial on her blog.

After laying out my squares...

I made my block into sections.

Then I sewed the sections together.

Like this.

Here is what the block looks like set with the alternate block.
Don't worry...
I will be making those!

I am super excited to see this one come together! I hope you have fun with it!

*I added a couple extra squares so you can pick
what you like best in the scrappy corner sections of the block.
 *Off white/white thread is fine to use.
* All the fabric you need is in the block kit. 
* You should have enough fabric to work with. I don't need any leftovers returned to me.

I am on instagram: Sinta or pink pincushion will get you there!

One more thing...
I have a question for you to answer when you post my finished block.

I have a large family but I don't share a whole lot about family life.
Here is the challenge...
share anything about  me or my family that I have posted about on my blog or IG...
but the catch is... there can't be any repeats in the answers.
