Happiness is spending an afternoon having my own Glee marathon and sewing without a pattern.
For Blocks of a Feather, the ever talented Lucinda (aka LucyEllen06) asked for blocks with spikes and/or circles. Here is the first block I came up with and my wheels are still turning for the second block. The spikes are free-pieced and I machine appliqued the circles. It's 12.5" square.
She also asked that we make free-pieced mini versions of our selves for the back of the quilt. This was such a great idea and I had a ton of fun rummaging through my scraps for something I would want to wear. The hair is embroidered with 2 strands or yellow and 2 strands of brown since neither seemed to be an appropriate color. It's a little block, only 6"x7".

Too cute. That is a really good idea for the back of a bee quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you have a free minute to craft! I love your block and the stitched version of you is adorable. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable as a quilt block. I had a Glee marathon yesterday, too. Only I was knitting instead of sewing. =]
ReplyDeleteYes, a fellow Gleek! I love the idea of the personal quilt block--too cute.
ReplyDeleteYay, Glee! Great blocks too. The free-pieced spikes look amazing with those layered circles. And your mini-you is awesome.
