It’s the end of March, and I finished my March Bee Block and BoMs!
First up is the block for Stash bee, hive #12. Jennifer requested the Arizona block from the We Can Do It! Skill Builder Sampler at Sewn by Leila. She wanted orange and turquoise, so I hope she likes this block 🙂 I think I am going to have to make another one of these in my colors!
Up next, I am still working my way through the 2013 Lucky Stars BoM. Below is the March 2013 block. I had the absolute worst time with this block. I don’t blame the instructions, it was completely me. It seemed every piece of fabric I could cut wrong, I did. Or sew on backwards. Or run out of the fabric less than halfway through the block.
Let’s just say I was very happy when this was done. I am also convinced there is any easier way to get this look than the way this block was done. If I didn’t have such a terrible experience doing it, I would probably figure out the easier way. Instead, I just plan to have this be the one and only time I ever do this block.
I am also doing other blocks for the sampler as I see ones that I like. This is the January 2013 Aurifil BoM.
I think this one puts me at 11 total… I did the math, and I think I need 36 with the sashing I want to get it the size I want. Almost 1/3 of the way done!
Linking up to Anything Goes Monday, WiP Wednesday @ Freshly Pieced, Paper Piecing Party @ Quiet Play, BOMs away, and Let’s Bee Social Wednesday @ SewFreshQuilts.
