September was gorgeous! We've had beautiful weather all month so I found myself out and about more. I hunkered down the other day and got my bee blocks done for September. Phew!
These stash builders I've been getting sure come in handy. This month we got four fat quarters from the line 'Rush Hour' by Studioe Fabrics. I cut into the small text for one of my blocks
meet Jack.
Union Jack. Him and I spent a lot of time together the other day.... This block is for Mary
This is a pixelated block that will become part of a picture quilt.
and for the Heal group of do.good stitches, a pair or 'winged square' blocks.
It's going to be hard mailing off these two. I think I may have to make a whole quilt of these !

Great blocks. I love your Jack and your heal blocks are beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are lovely, and the black and white prints you got are to die for! I might have to pick some of them up.
ReplyDeleteThey are all pretty but the last two are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou've left me feeling totally inspired! In fact, I'm trying to figure out if I can sneak out of work early to go home and sew! Just love your blocks - have been wanting to make some Union Jack blocks myself, but might have to put it off because the bottom two have me literally drooling...they are just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely things about this post. I didn't have a hankering to make my own Union Jack, but yours is fabulous. I especially like the text print you used. I may have to add this to my to-do list ...
ReplyDeleteAs always your post is so inspiring!!! I'm with you, I may have to make a quilt myself out of those last two blocks - such wonderful color play!!!
ReplyDeleteK is making an x and o quilt and she has lots of little half square triangles already sewn and pressed... hmmm, I think she may like this! Very bright and cheerful Carla!
ReplyDeleteLovely post! The Jack is gorgeous....a lovely fabric combination....and the last two blocks are so pretty and colourful!
ReplyDeleteHappy week.

What fabby blocks! Of course, Jack is my favourite! Nice work, m'dear ;)
ReplyDeleteYour winged square blocks are beautiful. Great choice of colors. A quilt of them would be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh man... so much gorgeousness in one post... LOVE! (That Union Jack square has me itching to do one myself!)
ReplyDeleteHappy to meet you "Jack"!! What a gorgeous block. I agree, a quilt with those pretty winged square blocks would be beautiful. Those fabrics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe Union Jack was a challenge, wasn't it? Yours looks great though! And the Winged Squares are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all your blocks lined up and looking so beautiful! I about lost my marbles trying to make the Union Jack, so I'm glad you had great success with that block.

Those are my fav Rush Hour fabrics.
ReplyDeleteoooh, those winged square look gorgeous - looks like lots of work, but so worth it!
ReplyDeleteSure love the block and whites. Your blocks are all terrific!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks! Really love that Union Jack, Carla.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a quilt with those blocks - a must have. You used some of that Rush Hour fabric perfectly. I love how it looks in that block.
ReplyDeleteThe pixelated block looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteohhh . . . especially love that last orange/pink block.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your blocks are stunning. You have a great eye for colour.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bee blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, Carla. I remember how much I liked the winged star when we made them for Cindy in MCM Bee last year.
ReplyDeleteI love the winged square blocks (beautiful colours) and I have seriously been considering setting a Union Jack block when I am queen bee. It wouldn't be too tricky, right?
ReplyDeleteYour winged blocks are just beautiful. I really love them. Is there a tutorial for those somewhere? Thanks for your help.
