Oh So Many Bee Blocks

2/20/2013

Ok, so I haven't posted any bee block pictures on here in months, like literally since October maybe?  Don't worry, they have all been shipped to their owners, some a tad or a lot late, some on time, but none of them live with me anymore.  Anyways, these blocks deserve their moment in the sun, so here they are in all their glory:
Picture
Parisian Star from the Modern Blocks Book, found on pages 128-129.  This block is for Susan over at The History Quilter and is part of the Modern Blocks Bee.  She sent some lovely Anna Maria Horner voile and a rough open weave type fabric for the background.  Very interesting combination of fabrics together.  Hard and soft all rolled into one.  Lovely block!
Picture
Leanne over at She Can Quilt requested improv asterisk blocks.  This block is part of the Always Bee Learning group.  I went for a simple asterisk block, but on a large scale, this block measures around 16" x 18" or somewhere around that.  She sent me Madrona Road and Chicopee fabrics, both of which are fabulous together.  I can not wait to see what Leanne does with these blocks, she is so talented!
Picture
Toni over at Hoosier Toni requested this half square triangle block from the Modern Blocks book, it is entitled Diamond Ripples and can be found on pages 46-47.  I'm not even going to lie to you, I did not like making this block, way too many hst, but boy was she smart to have everyone make one for her, and this quilt will be so cool once she has it together.  The effect created with this block is very neat and there are multiple ways to put it together.  This block was part of the Modern Blocks Bee.

Also for Toni are these two blocks here, above and below.  As part of the Always Bee Learning group she requested the herringbone block above, tutorial found HERE.  She sent us Chicopee by Denyse Schmidt strips and then asked us to create an imrov block with all the scraps left over from the herringbone block.  I used them all up and created this 12.5" x 12.5" block seen below, improv is so fun!  I see a fish, what do you see?

Last, but not least is another block from the Modern Blocks Book and part of the Modern Blocks Bee.  This block is named Piece of the Garden, and can be found on pages 134 - 135.  It is for ellebee'squilts and she gave us the option of making this block in several different size options.  Boring old me, chose to do it at 100%, so this block measures 12.5" x 12.5".  I believe this is also Denyse Schmidt fabric and my first time piecing hexagons like this, very fun!

That is it for today folks!  Thanks for hanging in there!

Oh, Marci, I love my blocks so much! All of these look wonderful! I actually had your improv block sitting on my ironing board for a few days because I like it so much and was going to try to see who made it. Thank you so much!

Wow! You are involved in a lot of swaps. I've never tried an asteriks block but it's on the list. All the blocks are beautiful!
