I've been feeling a bit ADD with my quilting lately. I mean, I'm spending a lot of time in the studio, but it doesn't seem like much is getting finished. I keep bouncing from one thing to another!
In the past week, blocks have been rolling in from my bee mates in the Global Scrap Bee. I was Queen Bee for July (you can read about my royal request
here)... check out the lovelies that have arrived so far. far!
Last night I whipped up 4 more blocks... I love the way the corners come together and take your eye away from the original block. I figure if a couple more trickle in, it'll make a comfortable sized snuggle quilt. And I already have a good idea of who it might need to live with ☺
I'm also completely up to date on my Pile O Fabric Skill Builder BOM blocks. Yay, me!☺ This month featured more appliqué with Liquid Stitch. Again, I finished two blocks without even turning the machine on. So strange. These are meant to be spools of ribbon... a little more abstract than the rest of the blocks in the series!
And these ones... can you guess?
If you said books on a shelf, you'd be right! I worked hard to match the font colour on the selvage to the Kona used. I know, I know... only I would care about that! And I managed to work in two selvages in French. Oh, the things that make me happy.
I'm linking up today with the
Needle and Thread Network, as well as with
WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.

your bee blocks are looking fabulous - love the colours!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like the abstract one! I also love that log cabin variation. It's definitely on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteLove your bee blocks! The colours are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in your bee blocks are fantastic - they look so great together!
ReplyDeleteThe bee blocks look great - I love the corners, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the books on a shelf! Very neat! And the Global Scrap Bee blocks looks so fun :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't un-see your Bee blocks so I guess I am going to have to copy you, Again! lol Aren't they just wonderful! What an awesome quilt you will have. And your skill builders are wonderful too. Matching the selvedges on the books is perfection!
ReplyDeleteThe Bee blocks are looking great. I see mine!! I love the books -- can't wait to see the block in person.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I have a list and not much is getting crossed off because I flit from one project to another. Keep at it - at least you won't be bored.
ReplyDeleteExcellent for suffering from ADD. I'm not ADD just plain stuck. Very inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteThe spools are abstract, but I love the pattern they create.
ReplyDeleteI also love the bee blocks. Did you find it easy to choose the pattern or did you agonise in indecision for ages (as I expect I will with my bee)?
