I need to do that more often. Lovely block, Serena. The tutorial looks like a fun one to make with bee blocks--as long as your sewists are precise! That's a lot of matching to do :) I can't wait to see the finished quilt!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464017894034971101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-57185891385764970502014-05-13T06:37:49.925+08:002014-05-13T06:37:49.925+08:00Beautiful blocks Serena!!

That is a very unexpected color combo and not one that I would have thought of, but it looks great and quite regal.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013357316895115533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-39147417557231696532014-05-13T06:37:36.153+08:002014-05-13T06:37:36.153+08:00I love how simple and graphic these blocks look.

It makes it a pretty time consuming piecing process, but I ended up being happier with the results.Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761104535082701259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-27074466814968704152014-05-12T17:39:48.258+08:002014-05-12T17:39:48.258+08:00Ooh they look nice - I'm imagining them cut up...Ooh they look nice - I'm imagining them cut up for the bento box - I think they will be really stylish and graphic!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507562992976793622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694760279089599732.post-41647673158280490282014-05-12T16:34:09.543+08:002014-05-12T16:34:09.543+08:00I really like the fabrics you've used, they lo...I really like the fabrics you've used, they look very stylish.

I'd pop in some times if caught the bus home and had to walk from Galleria.<br /><br />I screwed up the cutting for some of my block strips; I didn't cut them long enough even thought I KNEW how long they should be lol oops. I guess a cheat to help keep them square is to make the strips wider then you can trim them down (hindsght..). You picked some really pretty prints!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
