Queen Marie (March) asked for "X and +" blocks in white, gray, and spring greens. I hadn't made this block before and was surprised at how quickly they came together.
Bee Inspired, the online group that formed from some of us in the New Bloggers Blog Hop group (2016), is not doing a traditional bee this year. Instead, there are a few different projects and each of us can choose which ones to do. Some of them are charity quilts where the hostess picks a block and anyone who wants (including those not originally in Bee Inspired!) can send a block or more to be made into a charity quilt.
I was the hostess for the first charity quilt of the year and I asked for boat blocks. I made a few extra to get to a nice round number and it was only after I finished this one that I realized I had used checks, stripes, and polka dots in the same block. It's like the scrappy block trifecta!
Great bee blocks! I love the little train you added to the book block.
ReplyDeleteI love the boat block; you're right, it is a trifecta! That stripey boat is so fun!
