September Bee Blocks

It's time for this month's bee blocks!  I'm glad to have them done on time... woo hoo!  First up is a block for Leanne "shecanquilt" in the Modern Blocks Bee.  Leanne asked us to make the "Stonehenge" block, designed by Amy Ellis found on pages 182-183.  She sent us fabric from Tula Pink's Birds and Bees line, oh so pretty!  I love the simplicity of this block and really look forward to seeing what great modern quilt Leanne creates with them.  This block measures 12.5" x 12.5".

I will start by saying that these blocks were a little time consuming and on the "harder" scale of blocks, but I will say the effort was worth it and boy these are stunning. "Watch Meesh Run" asked us to create two New York Beauty blocks in the Always Bee Learning group.  I think I remember these being blocks number 1 and 7, and you can find the patterns for them HERE.  This is going to be an all purple quilt and I think it is going to be FABULOUS, especially since purple is my favorite color, just saying.  These blocks measure 8.5" x 8.5", and are paper pieced with the exception of the curves.

Last but not least are three simple Snowball blocks for a special charity project.  You can find the tutorial HERE, these blocks measure 8" x 8".  We had the option of using green, red, or black fabrics, which I thought for sure I had plenty in my stash.  Well you can see from these three blocks that apparently I only have black in my stash, no true green or red.  I guess I know what I need to buy next...

I'm glad you had some simpler blocks to balance the NYB stunners! And thanks so much for the snowballs. They'll be the perfect addition to this quilt!

I love the block for me, thank you! I am so looking forward to putting those blocks together, I am hopeful that it will be a Christmas holiday project for me. And your other blocks are lovely too, I was working on my second NYB tonight. But seriously, no red in your stash, you must shop asap.
