Solid Bee Block. Sept Edition

So we were sent some pink, yellow and white fabric and told to make pin wheels. I had a ton of fun searching out a pin wheel to make. I wanted something really different. Then I found the Amish Pinwheel and I knew I found the one. I added a couple frames around the edge to get it to the right size, and because I wanted to use up as much of the fabric as I could. I still have to snip threads on this one. :)

And, because I had a wee bit of fabric left, and I love tiny little things, I added some white from my stash and made a MinPin block. :) Yes. Bad pun. I'm sorry. It's just too cute! Tiny! I luv it. :)

Pictures!

This is one of the quilts I put together while my hubby was in San Diego. I had seen some on flickr like this, and decided to make up one of my own. I cut 2 1/2 inch strips and sewed them together. Then I cut those strips 7 1/2 inches. I slapped another strip on the top and bottom and done! I used some fat quarter I had laying around from a baby quilt I was going to make oh.. 5 years ago. :) The border is pieced from the leftovers. So much fun! I quilted it in white thread, just going about 1/4 an inch on either side of the seams. So it's a grid pattern. Simple, but striking I think.

What? You love it? You want it? Well, Lucky You! It's up in my etsy shop.

Also. I went and did something crazy. I started a bee. You know, a quilting bee? The theme is Solids. Just using solids. No prints. It can be a single color, or a rainbow of them. But only solids. Head on over to Solid Bee Block for more details and to join! Right now there are 2 peeps that have joined, so there is room for 10 more. Hurray! Act Today! No Delay!
