WIP WEDNESDAY

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 !

  4. You'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!

  5. So 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 ...

  23. I 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?
