Recap! bee blocks


 Augusts belated block for Fi, She sent these beautiful fabrics, and said, 'Surprise me' . So I found a block in Quilters Cache, which I liked, but it was foundation paper pieced. Woops! so I looked at it, and decided I could just piece it. So, I did. and it seems to have worked. Aren't those colours pretty. I love the pop of the pink.
And Sarah had managed to send the fabric for two blocks for September. concentric squares, in black and white, with pops of bright colour. These are just a little more tricky than they look, as you have to ensure you have enough for that final round. But they were great fun to do. I think Sarah will have a lovely quilt at the end of it.  

All this a little later than planned, as we had the Day of Dance last weekend. so busy, I took no photos this year, but for a taste of it have a look at this 



All for now!

What fun bee blocks! The starshine block definitely looks easier to piece than to PP - good choice.
