Catching up on my blocks!

I am finally catching up on my Bee Blocks. This one is for Amy Ellis.  I loved playing with those Echino prints. The colors in this quilt are going to be phenomenal! I can't wait to see it. 

And Nedra's.  I LOVED making this block too. I really need to make one of these quilts. I apologize for taking so long to get it too you, Nedra. And in my haste, I forgot to sign my name. :(  So I authorized Nedra to forge my signature this time.

Amy's Blocks

 

 

I just finished the Echino/linen blocks for Amy! I have some Echino prints but have never sewn with them...they sew and press beautifully.

The other blocks I've seen for her quilt are just amazing...it's going to be a great quilt!

This Bee is so much fun!

Back to school sewing

Since today was the first day that all 3 kids were back in school I decided to celebrate by catching up on my Bee blocks.

Nedra's had been sitting on my table for, well, over a month. Why did I wait so long!?

This block is fabulously easy with amazing results. I definitely see a quilt made from this pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew in my future.

The next package came while I was in Canada.

It was Amy Ellis' fabric: Echino linens- Yum!

I'm freaking out a little though. Amy asked that we not make 'Wonky' blocks. I hope these don't count as wonky. I was halfway through the second block when I remembered and panic set in. I used straight seams so I hope they will still work. If not, I'd be happy to sew more.  :o)

To be honest I'd never sewn with linen before (gasp!) It was a little trickier than I thought and I'm not sure why. It wasn't I-hate-sewing-with-linens tricky it was more like this-is-different-than-cottons tricky. I managed and I'm super pleased with the results.
