Ariana asked for a geometric shape.  I decided on an equilateral triangle made of the three fabrics she included.  It let me play with some angles and practice a y-seam.  The math teacher in me was proud of the result.


Emily N.'s tea-inspired applique block.  I used a Pigma Micron marker (permanent) to doodle the steam.  Fun!

After being away for a week and playing catch-up at work, I took time this weekend to get back to my machine and work on the bee blocks requested by Margaret -- four half log cabins with light neutral strips and solid corner squares that she provided.  Each row of colored strips have one that is two colors and a coordinating strip with more colors.  She requested that we refrain from using rulers to cut our strips and trimmimg the finished blocks. It was a fun challenge pulling the right fabrics.  I hope you like them, Margaret!
