I have spent the best part of today in the car, sewing, whilst dear son was on a school enrichment course; thank goodness for Spring Carnival!
As promised a couple of days ago, I have Bee blocks to show you.
For the second round of Brit Bee, Fiona requested low volume blocks, to resemble an old and well-loved quilt, with inset, predominately FMF, traditional blocks.
My first block had to be a Constellation star - not 100% traditional, but Fiona loved it! The HSTs finished up at 3/4" each, or thereabouts.
For my second block I went a bit bolder, and to be honest, simpler with a green seed Whirlwind block.
Both blocks measure 12.5" square.
The low value fabrics are all from Fiona's collection of favourites, oldies and most precious, which she entrusted to us to fulfil her vision.
I think Fiona is going to end up with a smashing quilt xxx
Blimey you are good!
ReplyDeleteLoving both blocks but, of course, the first one an ickle bit more.
xxxx
gorgeous! those teeny HSTs are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove those blocks - those teeny HST's would have me breaking out in a sweat but yours are always so perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! Hope next week is full of highs!
ReplyDeleteSchool enrichment?! FFS, WTH is that when it's at home?
ReplyDeleteStill, the bee blocks look great, and Spring Carnival is coming along nicely...
Great blocks. Fiona will love them. Nice hand sewing too.
ReplyDeleteI do love your blocks for Fi :-)
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are lovely - really my colours.
ReplyDeleteBut WTF is school enrichment?
Great blocks. What on earth is school enrichment.
ReplyDeleteSchool Enrichment? And sewing whilst driving! Is that a dangerous sport? Your blocks for Fi are cool. Those teeny tiny hst's blow me away!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those weeny HSTs are amazing! Well done. I haven't dared to cut into mine yet, too scared of going wrong with Fiona's precious fabrics!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are just wonderful! School enrichment? wtf!
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks! Too funny nobody has heard of school enrichment. We had that in college =D
ReplyDeleteJust when I think you've reached the pinnacle with the Constellation block you take it up a notch! Has Katy seen it yet?!! Wow, it's amazing! (I love the other block too, wouldn't want it to feel left out!) Your EPP is looking great and at this rate you'll be finished by the start of the summer holidays!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm assuming school enrichment is for G&T children? Did he enjoy it?
Love these! Spring Carnival is coming along nicely! Jxo
ReplyDeleteeeeeeeek! I really love both those beautiful blocks you have made me!!!!! Thankyou so much! I'm with everyone else though, school enrichment, wtf?!?
ReplyDeleteSpring carnival looks very pretty too :)
Very nice sewing.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks. I'm looking forward to the circles being 'put together'
ReplyDeletewow, your tiny constellation block is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI really really like your second block with the green star. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI was doing EPP yesterday, I might even like it it seems. I love your blocks, she is going to have a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteLucky Fiona! Think you are mad though! Think you need more ballet lessons to finish that EPP! What about swimming and a few music lessons too....
ReplyDeleteit is going to be a gorgeous quilt
ReplyDeleteTiny piecing is my weakness!! Love it. :-)
