January Bees

This week I got my January blocks in the mail to Sunni of Love Affair with My Brother for the Stash Bee.  She requested a tree block and a signature block, so here’s what I sent her way:

I added some white borders to the blocks I’ve received so far as part of Beejeebers.  I also requested tree blocks—or house blocks—to make a quilt called “Wonky Town.”

I received three more blocks this week and plan to add the white borders to them this weekend.

And I made some more progress with my Farmer’s Wife Sampler Blocks.  Here are my blocks laid out with the same blocks I made for Sunny in her fabric choices.

Finally, I completed this quilt for my first finish of 2012.

I am linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday for my bee blocks and my first quilt finished for 2012.  Hope you got some projects finished up this week, too!

  5. Your newest quilt is lovely! The straight line quilting is a perfect addition! It´s also fascinating how different fabrics and colors can change the feeling of a quilt. All your FWQ blocks are beautiful but they feel completely different.
