Buzz Buzz - July

Playing a little more catch up on the bee blocks from this summer today.  For July, Michele M. was queen bee for the month.  She picked a block we hadn't done yet called the Autumn Chain block which turned out to be a pretty fun block.  The flying geese on this block didn't give me the problems that they had on the previous month's block - but then again they were bigger and constructed differently so that helped.  

Michele wanted us to pick whatever color we loved, mix it up a bit using warm and cool tones in that color to make a mono-chromatic block.  I couldn't go with just one color, so I ended up pulling my to favorite color crushes at the moment which are dark teal and dark pink/purple.

 I LOVE love love how the teal block turned out.  Pretty sure I could make a whole quilt out of just this block in just those colors.

 I love this purple block to and it was kind of fun to make a block that felt more girly than my normal personality.

 Since I had a bunch of little half square triangles left over from the flying geese made in these two blocks, I made a little mug run out of them.  Not gonna lie - it was hard to send along with Michele's package.  I also decided to try a new pattern called Pouch With A View by Three Owls Handmade to make another little extra to send along.  It was definitely fun and bonus - it used it some of the clear vinyl that I've had floating around for forever.

 So much prettiness in that package - it really hurt to send this one off, but soon enough it will be my turn to get pretties in the mail. ;)
