February Bee blocks and another mini to pimp my wall

DSC01700a

My machine is back and running beautifully thanks to those who asked, the tech re set the tension and gave her a good clean, it may be my imagination but I'm sure she even sounds different!

Oooo I really like this mini quilt I made for my wall, the solids were so lovely to use, I think Ill have to make a whole quilt from them, and my stripey binding fascination is getting worse, I just love how it frames the design. Im entering this in the modern mini challange over at Ellison Lane Quilts. I was supposed to be showing another one but I havnt had time to complete it.

Here are my February bee blocks. The brief was that it had to go with some Dr Seuss fabrics so I'm hoping Lee Ann likes them, I think they should compliment the fabrics well.

I'm still busy hand quilting my monster double dresden quilt,and Im only half way through the horizontal lines, it'll take me a while to quilt up the vertical lines but I do enjoy being able to work whilst watching the t.v.

My Bust Yo Scraps blocks are coming along nicely, I've almost finished piecing them, Im calling it "Citrus Burst" as theres a lot of lemon, lime and zesty orange fabrics running through it. I think I may also back this one with an upcycled bed sheet as I want to see how these sheets machine quilt.

  6. So glad I found your blog, I love the way you have used the solids. I love anything with a rainbow theme and I am constantly expanding my range of Kona solids, would you mind if I shared your quilt image on my Facebook page? Do you have a Facebook page I could link to?
