Bee Block Returned Part 2

Here are more Bee blocks. I have made some. There are about 80 more to make. :)

Bee Blocks Returned Part 1

Most of my house Bee blocks came back. Here is a sample:

Improv Pineapple Floor Mat

We were in need of a new floor mat for our computer chair. The current mat was not large enough and the chair rolled off. I wanted to try the pineapple pattern. I used several work shirts whose collars had frayed for the fabric.

Instead of making blocks of  equal sizes I thought I'd try my hand at an improv modern layout.

The mat is 44" x 44 ". I machine quilted the front and back pieces together and did a machine binding. Conclusion: sewing pineapple blocks is a bit boring.

Sew Along 2015 - October - Starburst

Cute idea, but I didn't realize my blacks would be side by side in the end.

August Bee Block - Do What You Love

This is the last Bee block for the year. Lori wanted us to do what we loved. Our block could be any design as long as it was 12.5 x 12.5 inch block in the end. To ensure we worked with a color we liked, we each picked a solid from a rainbow of choices. She gave us all the same print fabric to use with our solid. There was a small piece of cooking themed fabric which she wanted use to include since she loves cooking.

I had no idea what block pattern to use since I am still trying different ones and don't have a favorite. At the Guild meeting, I started thumbing through the pile of freebie quilt magazines till I found a block I liked. It was an 8 3/4 inch block so I framed it with the cute novelty prints to get it to the correct size. I fussy cut the cooking utensils for the center of the block.

Quilt Along 2015 - September - Curves

I did not get the directions for sewing the curve, so then I did my own thing.
