This is a small selection of fabric that I am piecing together. I've many ideas as to what design to use, and even what other fabrics to add, but somehow (no surprise) I keep changing my mine.
I thought I had decided on a quilt pattern designed by Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts and started cutting according to the directions. I cut the chosen fabrics in three sizes, 2.5", 3" and 5" squares. I knew this was only the tip of the iceberg, which gave me too much time to think.
It took me several sittings to chain piece these (80+) 5" HSTs.
And the quilt pattern by Sew Fresh Quilts, I've already compiled a new selection of fabrics!
My other project in the works is from Stash Bee 2014. I designed a block which you can read about here.
I received quite a variety of blocks, it was exciting!
I'm playing with the layout. The first layout requires I make another block - should I? I like the second layout, although I'm thinking it could use some white sashing of some sort, maybe on two sides of each block & twist them around. Increase the negative space a bit. Maybe add large squares of white? Too many ideas floating in my head over this one!

I love your stash bee blocks and like the second layout better: it's got a skyscraper kind of vibe for me.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have some fun projects under way! The Bee blocks definitely present a lot of possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI like Lorna's designs too. She is a talent.
ReplyDeleteI like the first design with no sashing. The blocks are so beautiful together.
Your fabrics are yummy that you chose to make a 'Lorna' quilt-which one are you doing? Love the stash bee block too!
ReplyDeleteYour stash bee block looks like great fun - will be a fabulous quilt!
