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.

More August Bee Blocks

In Scrap Happy, August was Rick's month.  He requested mosiac blocks following his instructions.  I have a hard time with true randomness, but I think this is what he wanted.

In Christmas in July, it was Kelly's month.  She's making a PS i quilt pinwheel sampler.

My assigned block was #7.

for our second block we were told pick make any pinwheel.  I opted not to go super crazy.

simple and fun.

Finished Coins!

Done and gifted! 

We went camping this week with friends, one who happened to be Kim, the new owner of this quilt.  She loves it!  Whew!  I have horrible self-esteem when it comes to making things for other people.  (what if they don't like it?) and as a trade, I wanted it to be perfect, since I adore my redone furniture. (which I just realize I hadn't blogged about yet)

Any-who, she adores it, so all's well.  This was the quickest turn around I've ever done.  one evening to piece the coins, one evening to piece the top, and a day to quilt, bind and wash it.

I'm still a newbie at the whole actual quilting process.  I outlined the coins and did loopy vines in the white.  It finished at about 50"x60."
