Week #5 of the Sewcial Bee Sampler is titled July Fourth. Although it looks complicated, it was a fun block to sew and a new-to-me way to make four Flying Geese units with no waste.
Again I used fabrics from Maureen Cracknell's gorgeous Garden Dreamer line - Twinklestar Berry and Bumble Beez. I pulled the sage-y gray fabric from my stash and don't remember what it is, but I wish I did because I want more of it.
You can find more information on the blogs of Sharon Holland or Maureen Cracknell, download instructions for this block here, and for all the blocks here. If you are on Instagram, search for #sewcialbeesampler to see how many variations there are for these blocks!
I am almost done with Hello, Bear quilt for my great-niece's little boy. The quilting is done, and today I am finishing it with a scrappy binding.
BUT I'm not sure Jack wants to give it up!
Love your fourth of July block.... such pretty fabrics and beautiful colours! Jack does look very comfortable on the Hello Bear quilt.... hope you get it finished! Christine x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Christine - have a great weekend!
DeleteI love the colors you chose for this one, Linda! I've used that flying geese method before, and it's pretty amazing. At first it had me totally confused, but after I did it a few times, it finally made sense!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking at your site just for the fabrics. I continue to marvel at all that you do.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Pattie! I'll try to feature more fabrics just for you - lol! I like looking at fabrics also, spend way too much time looking at online fabric shops.
