The Blessed Path...

I took the Route of all Evil, so to speak, back to work today, whilst yesterday I passed a lovely few hours making a couple more blocks.

Judith and Sarah, for those not already in the know, run a real-life sewing group and simultaneous virtual Bee, called Bee Blessed, making quilts for the needy in Northern Ireland;  I have made a couple of blocks in the past, missed the last round, but was determined to send some back along with my Brit Bee blocks this month.

Asking for blocks for sampler quilts, any colours, any block, had me dashing for my thus far merely 'perused' copy of Modern Blocks...

On the cover is probably the least 'fun' of the whole 99 illustrated inside, however that was to be my starting point...

So after a quick scrabble about, I plumped for a bit of Solid action and a couple of charm squares and came up with these Pathways blocks...

Katy C - this was your Japanese Import choice I believe!

I hope they will fit in with your grand plans my dear ladies x

I can finally confirm that the way the book is laid out, and the clear instructions given, made this block so easy to put together, and has added to my enthusiasm to make a quilt of more adventurous blocks, which, after the day I've had, is something I would love to spend my working hours buried beneath just now.

If you want to join in, and send a block or two, check out the flickr group too; I'm sure Judith and Sarah won't mind me pointing out that last month was 'granny block month', so do not be put off by the muted florals that await you at first glance!
