On the design wall... Bee blocks!

On the design wall.  Rainbow star blocks for Valerie for That Stash Bee.  Valerie asked for your favourite star block in rainbow colours.  I waffled a bit.  Hemmed and hawed and then this morning cranked out two of these.  The block pattern is from Faith at Fresh Lemons Quilts and it is called another star.  I do like this block and made a quilt of just these blocks a few months ago.  Hope this fits the bill!  I will be popping these off in the mail tomorrow.  The blocks finish at 12"  square.  Perfect!

Design Wall!

This month in the "That Stash Bee" had us doing some paper piecing.  Eek!  Kelli provided great inspiration for the fabric and then with some help from the other bee people, we had a template!  This block is called Road to Fortune.  I think it also goes by some other names too but here it is!  I really like it.  I like that I was able to use a bunch of scraps in all sorts of bright colours.  I do admit to using my stitch ripper.  Yep.  And I did seek some paper piecing help from Sonja.  Sonja is a paper piecing wizard and a member of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild.  She has some video tutorials and a paper piecing cheat sheet on her blog.  and a bunch of free patterns... just saying.
