Bee Blocks

I am Queenie of the hipBees this month and I asked the group to make me this block.
Wild geese block
The geese are have already started flying home and the blocks are going to make a great quilt.

I also belong to Bee a Brit Stingy which is a stash bee. Emily has asked for + and x blocks this month. My aim was to complete these blocks before the half term break. I finally managed to finish them today and got them in the post before our PO shut at midday.  Once I got into these blocks I found them really addictive. I can see me makingmore of these blocks in the future.




I still have one more outstanding 'make' to complete. This is the tote for Liz. The panels are made but now the inside needs to constructed and the bag put together. 
Perfect tote front panel in progress
All the cutting out is done and the interfacing attached, so it is already to be taken away on holiday with me. This will be finished before the end of half term as Liz has been more than patient! I will show you what I have done once I return next weekend.

    Can't wait to see your tote all finished - it looks fab so far! I know what you mean about the + and X blocks being addictive - I made 3 for my Bee and only stopped when I ran out of the centre fabric!

    The tote will be fab once it's finished, love the quilting, and I agree about the x and + blocks, they're fun to make, come together quite quickly, and create a good effect, love the colour choices : )
