june bee blocks

last night while k and his friend turned into teenage boys and turned our basement into a video game arcade,  i was on the third floor (as far away from the yelling as possible) in my peaceful (and clean!) sewing room making bee blocks!  it was a very productive night indeed, i got all of the bee blocks done for the 2 bees that i'm in (oh  yeah, i joined another all-canadian bee after the first one).

june is ariane's month in the sew modern bee, she asked for a 12.5 inch block with a traditional, smaller block in the centre, encased by a thin 1/2 inch border and a wider grey border around it.  she had sent over some adorable hunky dory fabrics along with some kona white and coal.

i went with a star block with a little pin wheel in the middle for the centre block.  she also asked us to make a 5-inch signature block, in any style, for the back of her quilt, and i thought i'd try a little wonky action, so this is what i came up with.

i hope you like them, ariane!

in the great white north bee (i just love that name, ha!), june is bee-mama kristy's month.  she asked for 2 wonky quarter log cabin blocks based on a tutorial by quilt dad, and sent over some seriously delicious pink, orange and green strips of fabrics.  for the first block i used mostly the orange fabrics, i call this cutie citrus.

the second block i used all the pink and green fabrics, and i call this cutie, well, pink + green.  very creative, i know.

i've never done any kind of wonky blocks before, but i was very excited to try it out.  they turned out pretty good, i think.  the most outter strips could be wonkier i guess.  overall, i'm pretty happy with them, and i hope she likes them too!

昨天晚上小卡和他的一个朋友变成了十几岁的少年，在地下室打游戏机。我就趁机躲到三楼（离他们的叫喊声最远的地方）的缝纫室里，消消停停的来做我参加的2个缝纫合作组6月的布块儿。她们寄来的布都非常的漂亮，要求的设计也都很有趣，所以我做起来也高兴。看看，漂亮吗？
