Scrap-bee-licious Bee, August blocks done!!

After having so much fun in Beth’s New Bloggers Blog hop, a few of us joined in on the Scrap-bee-licious organized the wonderful Ashley and Laura. Each month the “Queen of the month” decides on a block design and we all send in our blocks.

Ashley is first up and she chose a block pattern to make a similar quilt like this Converging Corners quilt by Ashley @ Film in the Fridge. Here are my blocks….all ready to ship.

I decided to make one block a warm colored block:IMG_8422

and the other a cold colored block:IMG_8423

I think they complement each other and I hope they work well with the other blocks.IMG_8436

The rest of the schedule is as follows, I can’t wait 🙂

Road 15 Postage Stamp Pillow

I hope you all had a good weekend. Even though we had 4 boys (all 6 years old) camp over last night, I managed to finish the Road 15 postage stamp pillow. I am so pleased with the finish – most of the squares are  lined up, and I love the straight lined quilting.

Finish it up Friday: Postage Stamp Pillow

This will be a very quick post today, as I prepare for my son’s 6th birthday camping party (in the backyard).

I have finished sewing all 10 rows of the postage stamp pillow using 2.5 x 2.5 ” squares of Road 15 mini charms by Sweetwater for Moda and Bella solid cotton mini charm.
