I got a bit behind in my online quilting bees, but last Monday, Sarah came over and we quilted up a storm. While she worked on some Christmas gifts, I worked on my quilting bee blocks. These are some of my favorites that I did.
The first block was a request for a geometric shape on a white background. Diamonds are a lot harder than I thought they would be, but I like the bold design. The second one asked for a mini-quilt. She had such a wide variety of fabrics, so I had to find something that pulled them all together. Matching the points on the triangles was a little tricky. The third one is a string quilt and I can’t wait to see all of her blocks put together. I’m considering a string quilt for my next month in the quilting bees. The last one asked for a star on a white background with these beautiful Asian-inspired fabrics. This time I used the half-square triangle method and the triangles didn’t stretch and the points fit just right.
I also recently completed a little quilt, or at least it’s what I’m calling it. It has patchwork, quilting, binding…but it’s only 6 inches square. I was asked to make a prize for a Breast Cancer Fundraiser, so I made a quilted potholder. I was able to use all scraps and I really liked how it all turned out.
