I have completed a number of things recently. . . .and none of them stayed with me!
These first photos are of blocks that I made for the March and April Stash Bee blocks:
The Friendship Star blocks were for March. The large one is 12" and the small one is 6".
I did not realize until I loaded the picture that they are spinning in different directions. So much for being observant, eh?!
The request was for stars in any size in Americana color way. I used the same fabric in the center of each block but picked different fabrics for the star points.
I may start making 6" Friendship Star blocks as a long-term project since it looks so cute.
This block is for April. We were to choose a main color that was in our stash and then make the star using the complement color.
When I was looking through my scrap basket (since I only needed smaller pieces) I was amazed to see how much blue I had.
I never really considered blue as a favorite color. . . . . but, just like I found out a couple of years ago when I realized how much green I had in my stash (which really floored me). . . . .it seems that what we think are favorites and what we tend to purchase can sometimes be completely different.
Now, yellow, which is one of the very favorite colors, was very hard to find in my scrap basket. . .go figure!
The member that requested this block said that she was trying to "ease" herself into scrap quilting but she did not think she could work with "willy nilly" (my words, not hers) blocks of all different colors.
From what I have seen it looks like a lot of us have a lot of blue in our stashes!
Then, for something completely different, we have a baby afghan that I crocheted:
The manager of the cafeteria where I work is a registered foster parent. He and his family were recently asked to take care of a baby girl (I think she is 3 months old now).
So I made one of the baby afghans that is my "go to" pattern. . . . filet crochet teddy bears.
I tend to like larger baby afghans. . . . the pictures show it laying across the width of a double bed to give you an idea of the size.
I think that the larger size lets the child get a lot more use out of the blanket than a smaller one does.
That's about all I have to talk about now. . . .so, until next time,
In peace and pieces,
