Well I sewed like a trouper, without the swearing, and got Terri's Brit Bee blocks made last night.
Our orders were 8-or-more-pointed stars, so I had to make her a mini 'constellation' block didn't I!
Terri provided some pale pink and yellow fabrics, to go against the green background, and I supplemented hers with some of my own to avoid too much repetition; I swapped the layout a little and I love how this has turned out...
The second block was to be red. Now I don't do red very often, and really didn't have enough of the right tone to match Terri's chosen fabrics. So with a quick flick through my Fat Quarterly 'Shape Workshop for Quilters - Star chapter', I was away using just Terri's Wizard of Oz themed prints... Star Within A Star...
Isn't this the campest block ever!?
So there you go, I can't believe a whole year of Brit Bee blocks are now done and dusted...
13 quilts, which are now quite frankly the cherries on top of our friendship, including the extra special Project 51; and all set to go again after we get to meet for the first time at FQ Retreat... Perfect x
They're both fab, but I particularly like the Dorothy one lol
ReplyDeleteCamp is good in this case! Fabulous efforts all round!
ReplyDeleteFabulous blocks! And quite the year for the Bee!
ReplyDeleteFabulous blocks! I can't believe the first year is over but your bee mosaic is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Am so lucky to be part of this bee!
ReplyDeleteheee - those shoes are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous! I really like that you put your personality in there...a little bit of Hadders jumping out in her quilt. That rocks.
ReplyDeletePerfect indeed!
ReplyDeleteThey're both great! What a fantastic year of blocks!
ReplyDeleteCamp as ever! I love them both. We've had a brilliant year together. Lucky me, I've been spoilt with two quilts. ready for round two! Thank you. X

ReplyDeleteFab blocks Had! Terri will love them! Great to see a history mosaic of all your Brit Bee blocks! Here's to another year! Jxo
ReplyDeleteA great year indeed and all the blocks are fab although your selfie still remains one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! I watch the awesomeness of your bee from afar, I am glad you are all doing another round.
ReplyDeletePerfect indeed!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see them all together - and of course the constellation is best. xx
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic...well done!
ReplyDeleteEeee! I love the mosaic of our years work, so cute :o)
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a bit of camp!! Love the mosaic.
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks especially the Dorothy one. But that's probably because I want some of that ruby slippers fabric!
ReplyDelete:) I love your ruby slippers! Here's to another year of fun, laughter and freindship!
ReplyDeleteThey are both really pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Mrs, these look great - and I love your Brit Bee summary too! What are we doing next?! x
