As you well know by now (and are most likely tired of me still talking about it) I am a part of Sew Bee Blissful. March is my month to choose our blocks and fabrics, so I am spending some time this week getting myself organized.
AGES ago I decided on the fabric colors I wanted based on a music festival bracelet that you can see here. So, I pulled out the old Kona card and made a few purchases. This is what arrived....
Yes, this quilt will be done entirely in solids. I am over the moon at the idea.
The last bit arrived yesterday, so I now have my fabric all cut and ready to ship. Lots of little packages to get into the post!
What blocks will we make? I have been interested in log cabin or square in a square quilts. I think I became fascinated with the huge variability of such simple traditional designs; how you can play with them by making them slightly wonky or altering your fabric colors. That will be our bee's theme this month.
Here is my inspirational mosaic that might better explain what I mean
Aren't they gorgeous? So I am asking folks to make a block in any way they choose that somewhat mirrors this quilt by Gee's Bend. I think this is simply spectacular. Here's hoping my bee mates are as enthusiastic.
That's the news, ladies. I am off to try to make my first "test" block. Here's hoping it turns out as well as it appears in my imagination!
