WIP Wednesday - some modern madness

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced
I vowed not start any new projects, but then I started Elizabeth Hartman's Craftsy class, watched the scattered squares tutorial, and somehow, this happened.

Oops! I know JUST how to quilt it and it's going to hang above my sewing desk. I think I'm pretty good with colour, but this class gave me a whole new way to look at fabric selection. So much fun. If you haven't tried a Craftsy class, I recommend it.

In other WIPs, I've received Quilt Club Australia Bee blocks from six people. I'm not going to put them all close together like this, but for the sake of looking at them all together, here they are... (Indoor photography and I - not good friends!)


So pleased with how these blocks are turning out! It freaked quite a few of the bee members not having a set pattern to follow but they're turning out beautifully. I can't wait to get them all!

  10. Think this has to be the most original bee block choice I've seen! I would have loved this one instead of that freakin' (hehe) feathered star.

  14. Seriously love how those bee blocks turned out. except there's one that doesn't look destijl to me. I don't know if they used triangles. and yes, my art geek is showing.

    side note, every time I go to comment on your blog I end up putting it in the feedburner area. it looks deceivingly like the comment area. :)
