Melissa/Me1issa of FAITH Circle just finished her Shape Shifters quilt, with the most exquisite quilting. You can read all about it here and see the quilting close up, and if you're as smitten with Melissa's Shape Shifters block as we all were, you'll find the tutorial in her post here.
Also for FAITH Circle, Anita/RhubarbPatch asked for Wonky Log Cabin blocks, and made the sweet quilt below. I love that it has three borders, and the diamond grid quilting is unique and fun. Here's Anita's blog post about her quilt.
On to the Always Bee Learning bee where Hettie/hettie k asked for Trip Around the World blocks. Here's the block tutorial we used. Isn't this pattern always a winner?
In That Stash Bee, Cathy/blueberry patch cathy had us make 16-Patch blocks using this tutorial and made this delightful picnic quilt! When I saw the photos in her blog post, I wanted to drop everything and run right over!
Mid-Century Modern Bee's Carla/Carlaf2 gave us choices! First she suggested arrow blocks using her own tutorial, or if we preferred, an Anna Maria Horner feather. As you can see, she got some of each, plus made a few other blocks herself to help create her own quilt design. Love it with the low-volume background, don't you? **Can you believe I got so excited to share this with you, I forgot it wasn't quilted yet! Please forgive and go read Carla's post about this flimsy. I know I'll be watching for the big reveal to come!**

Hope you enjoyed this little show and tell! You can see why it's certainly a pleasure to sew with my talented bee-mates!
I love what Carla has done with the feathers and arrows! The Navajo block and the little pink one at the top are just the finish that pulls these diverse blocks together!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sharing...and you know what, everyone of these bee friends have taken so much time to take thoughtful photos. I'm inspired!

those are all so wonderful! I'm excited to get my first bee blocks back next month.
ReplyDeleteOh I love show and tell and yes, I always try to find the blocks I made! I made like 7 of those blocks in Hettie's quilt and I can pick out all of them! LOL So many beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful quilts!So glad you included Carla's flimsy. I love the variety of blocks and prints and the interesting layout.
ReplyDeleteI really like all of the finishes but I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing 16 patches and trips around the world. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts and such wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm tremendously in love with Carla's flimsy and have been stalking the blocks around the internet... I can't wait to see it quilted either...

Gorgeous collection of quilts there!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love seeing bee quilts come together and get finished! Thanks for talking about our two. Hopefully we'll have some more to talk about soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThese quilts are all so beautiful, and even more so by their intended destinations. So much inspiration here, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I remember making those orange and blue blocks for Hettie's quilt. And I just love those arrows.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! I do love Carla's arrows!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these. Carla's is my favorite...just love it!
