String X

Here is my block for December. ... first time paper piecing. I thought it was interesting...maybe a bit challenging especially with the bias triangles, but all in all, I am glad I had the chance to do it!

I hope you like it Solidia. I did add a few pieces from my own stash for some extra variety. I think this will be a great quilt when finished!

december block done

Here you go Solidia!

This was a first for me.... never paper pieced. I'm a free willy kind of gal.
But even I can admit this was a fun block to make ,
and I thank you for teaching me something new!

What fun this quilt will be when it's all together!

Has everyone mailed their November blocks?
I'm missing 5...
Wanted to check with you all before I go bother my postman for missing mail....
we have the worst post office...

bee blocks

I am so excited...I am flying out to Washington state tomorrow afternoon to finally meet my new granddaughter, born a few weeks early, so off to packing for the adventure!

Grab the bags, pack one full of baby stuff mawmaw made, re-usable breast pads for the new mommy, new Christmas quilts....what....

....omg, I thought I had done the November blocks for the Bee Balm! I am so bad, please forgive me, off to the post office in the next few minutes. Victoria, what can I say? New babies make me stupid! Please accept my heartfelt apologies for my tardiness.

On the upside, the three little specks are the actual pieces of fabric going back, couldn't fit them in. I hope these are ok for you. I did enjoy this project, very fun, outside the box for me. Thanks for the opportunity to make these for you.

Again, my apologies, red faced and running to DFW...Elaine
