I am involved in several online quilting bees... which I LOVE. It allows me to cope a bit more with my A.D.D. quilting (I can't finish 1 project from start to finish and have to have about 10 different things going at once) and helps me to learn new techniques and also get a quilt from each group. Anyway, here are the blocks for March:
Twelve Month Quilting Bee for ME! I asked everyone to make Wonky Log Cabins.
For Fat Stash Bee, Rebecca wanted us to make her a house or some other building for her neighborhood. This was kind of a fun one, but for a newer quilter like me, I am not sure if the buildings looked polished enough.
For Add-a-Border Bee, I added borders to the following blocks:
For Sew2Speak, I made these two blocks for Amber. She has a pattern in mind and just needed everyone to help her complete it by making a couple blocks for her. This one was really simple as she had even cut the fabric exactly so I just had to sew it all together!
For Christmas Fabric Bee, there were two gals who had March as their month. It was a little tricky for them as there wasn't a bunch of Christmas fabric in the shops at this time, but they went less traditional and I think they turned out well.
For Mary, I got to test out my triangles and my flying geese for these two blocks:
For Anna, we worked on these pretty gold and silver blocks. Two things were tricky with this one-- first, I have never worked with silk before (the gold is silk) and second, getting those lines to match up was tough! After the first few attempts I called it "good enough" and sent it back to her. I was afraid to ruin it more than I already had! She sounded grateful though, so that's good!
