I totally kept up with my Bee obligations this month… go me!

Well, OK, I made the last one at about 3PM on the 28th.  But hey, it was still February.

For One Block Over, Heather sent a handful of brown/green/teal fabrics and asked for big 16″ wonky log cabins. I added a bunch from my stash, and I think this is going to be a very pretty quilt.

For Bee Addicted 2, Teaginny had a lovely color palate of brown, tan, cream, and light blue.  She asked for square-in-a-square or rectangle-in-a-rectangle blocks.  These were surprisingly fun to make, and I think will be AMAZING when the whole thing comes together. In the meantime, I may have to steal this idea at some point…

For A Piece of Work B, Julie sent three blocks and asked for the Castle in the Air block from Quilter’s Cache, to make a quilt for her son. Cool, huh?

For Scraptastic, Heidi sent stripes and asked for Kaffe Fasset mitered squares. I loved the way a simple striped fabric turned into such a neat block, and how cutting the same fabric at different points in the pattern repeat could make such different blocks.

And finally, for Charming Robin, I had Rachel’s Eden charm pack and instructions to make Bento-style blocks. I added a little diamond in the middle to shake things up a little, and made the diagonal quarters identical to each other. Very yummy bright colors.
