Even More August Bee Blocks

I finished up my [3x6] bee blocks!

This one is for Desiree.

lovin' the black and red.

This one is for Angela. 

I hesitated on the green zebra stripe, but she likes it!

And last but not least is my favorite, for Tracey. 

I got this print in a grab bag from Fabric.com and love it.  I've been picking it up or ages, and trying to fit it into a project, but it didn't seem to work.  I'm so glad it works here!

Here's a shot of them all together.

I'm thinking about a new cathedral windows project, and I'm debating posting my process, step-by-step, these blocks really aren't as hard as they look.

just a rough sketch to help me figure out how many squares I need.

Cathedral Windows

I've finished three of the six for my [3x6] bee.  I like this bee because you make six of the same blocks in the requested colors.  It runs quarterly!  Cathedral Windows really aren't that hard, just completely different from "normal piecing"

for Becca

for Lynda

Only 3 more to go!

Cathedral Windows

I've always admired the beautiful catherdral windows quilts.  I've always thought - wow - that's got to be totally hard.  Way beyond my skill set.  Then I stumbled onto The Sometimes Crafter.  This is where I found the pattern for the circle of geese, a pattern I fell in love with.  She has a tutorial for a cathedral windows block.  Well, its not really a block, more of a technique, but wow.  I'm in the process of building a mini using the technique and so far, I'm in love.  She references 8 different tutorials she used in creating hers, so I thought - hmmm totally too hard.  nope.  not hard at all.  just different.

I asked one of my online bee groups if they would be up for trying it and sadly it was decided it's just too complicated.  (without even trying to make the block)  No hard feelings, I completely understand, it isn't like normal quilting at all.  I can only post a peek of a picture of my mini, but when my partner gets it, I'll be posting more.

I'm basically following the tutorial, but I am doing a few things differently.
