This week was one for catching my breath and catching up. I was quite behind on my bee blocks, so I spent a few days fixing that.

The star block was super fun to make and it's so simple. I want to make an entire quilt from that pattern some day. The herringbone block, while cute, was SO time consuming...and it ate a LOT of fabric. Thankfully, there is no shortage of fabric around here. Ha!
Phew! It feels good to have those done. Thankfully my friends are patient. :) Now, to get these in the mail...that's always the trick!
Did you know that you can link up your finishes from Instagram? See this post for more details.
It's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thanks, as always, for joining me for finish it up Friday!
Time consuming or not, the herringbone pattern is amazing - it would be absolutely stunning done as a scrap quilt on a huge scale wouldn't it - and looking at the piles of scrappy bits and bobs overflowing my cupboard I think I might have fabric for that too!!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your fun bee blocks. And I love making that star block as well. so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the start block as well. I have some charm packs that I'm not sure what to make with. This could work well. Great finishes!
ReplyDeleteI love them all--and they look so pretty on the design wall, like they are all friends--just like the people they are going to. :) I LOVE the book block for Ella. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLove that charm star! And all of your pieces look like they would make a fun quilt on their own!
ReplyDeleteI love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I wrap up bee block commitments. I'm glad you were able to catch up this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the links for the tutorials to make the blocks, especially the charm star block. I was thinking that herringbone block looked fussy.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteIts always tough to get those thank you blocks done! These are lovely, and I'm sure they will love receiving them. I know I would!
ReplyDeleteI love all your beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteVery cute blocks! The herringbone is quite impressive! I do think it would make a fun scrappy quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks but the link from Shelly {Bottom right: improv herringbone for Shelly (tutorial here)} is not working.
ReplyDeletePlease can you help me?
Warm regards,
Marga♥
Great bee blocks. Bet it feels good to get caught up.
ReplyDeleteLove the herringbone pattern! Thank you for supplying the link to the tutorial! :-)
ReplyDeleteimprov herringbone looks interesting. I have yet to try herringbone but this give me a reason to try both now.
ReplyDeleteI love the cheerful fabrics you are using in all of the Bee Blocks.
