Wow, I completed these quilt blocks close to two weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting about them. Goodness time flew over the past two weeks... It has been busy, and I don't think it is going to quiet down for a while. Its a bit overwhelming at the moment but I am sure I will figure out how to juggle everything soon. More on all this later - this post is supposed to be about the quilt blocks : )
Up first are tiny log cabin blocks for Valerie. I must confess that every time I open up a Pieced Together Quilting Bee package and see paper piecing inside I cringe. Seriously, 4 inch log cabin blocks - wow. But look how cute they are. And Valerie set us up for success - she cut out all our pieces, supplied us with the pattern and the order of fabrics. After I laid out the fabrics is ready set sew fashion I was able to sew these up in about an hour.
And it was even fun ripping out all the little pieces of paper - weird I know.
Second up are four sting quilt blocks for Sandy. These were fun too... although when I neared the fourth block I wasn't quite sure I was going to have enough fabric. I always try to plan, end up running short and then everything ends up okay even after the panic. Am I the only one?
Can't wait to see what blocks come my way for November and December!
This work is fantastic. So very pretty!

Yay! I love how you think I set you up for success -- I was just worried about everyone cringing over the paper piecing and how tiny they are and how there is no room for everyone else you impart their creativity. So thanks!
