Spiderweb Bee February Block



A floral delight. This pic gives it a citrus feel! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with these fabrics. Wow! What a quilt this is going to be.

Brioni's beautiful blocks



How's that for a little alliteration to start the post??? :) But seriously, Brioni's fabrics are beautiful and the fussy cut centers something I never would have thought of. The individual webs sewed up quickly and I was humming through putting the blocks together when I thought maybe I had better check the line up of the center flower. Yup- you guessed it - totally off base, so out came the seam ripper- a little ripping apart - then my bobbin ran out and it took awhile before I noticed.. Anyway- all was fixed- the blocks are sewn together- the flowers line up reasonably well- and before I could mess up anything else I packaged them up and they are on their way over the pond. Can't wait to see your end result Brioni!! It's going to be gorgeous!!

Making these was so much fun; good thing, I guess, since we all get to do it ten more times! :)  Anna, I hope you like them; can't wait to see how the whole quilt comes together.

Blocks for Anna



Here are my blocks for Anna- I have always liked spiderweb blocks but not made any until now. (I did make a test one first before daring to use Anna's fabrics.) I have to say I really enjoy making these blocks- once you have your scraps cut into varying widths it is fun to just chain piece away. And Anna- I really liked the tea stained muslin you sent along. You're quilt is going to be so beautiful. Hope you like these

Blocks for Anna!

Here are my blocks for Anna! I had a lot of fun making them - I alternated my scraps with Anna's, so I think there is a good mix.

Spiderweb blocks for Anna

Here's a look before I started sewing. I had everything laid out on the ironing board, then had to move everything so I could iron. :)
