I made a pact with myself that the first makes of the month will be my bee blocks. First up is my hipBee block for Rachel. Rachel wanted us to use her Liberty prints to make a variation on the block called Puss in Boots. I think that both Rachel and I have put the hipBees off flying geese for a very long time!

I have also done the Bee a Brit Stingy blocks for Jan. Jan had asked for 'Road to Tennessee blocks'. I have to say that I did these two blocks in one sitting and never again!!!

| Road to Tennessee - Block 1 |

| Road to Tennessee - Block 2 |
On my 'to do' list are an extra trippy block for the Siblings Together quilt that the Bee a Brit Stingy gang are making, along with the Bee Blessed blocks (fabric shopping for that one tomorrow at Duxford). So in fact although I have been busy I haven't been busy enough!

Your blocks are beautiful! That Road to Tennessee pattern looks fabulous but is a bit of a humdinger to make up, I know. Think that's why it proved less popular at Bee Blessed last month.
ReplyDeleteThe lozenge blocks are sooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the blocks for Jan!
ReplyDeleteHa, I can see why the "road" blocks would get on your wick, there is a lot of lining up to get the points pointy, oops! Fabric shopping at Duxford? I thought the only thing there was an air museum!! :o)
ReplyDeleteLovely and done! Have a great day tomorrow x
ReplyDeletegreat blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, thanks in advance for that extra scrappy trip and have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could shop for fabric at duxford! I did Jans blocks for bee blessed and they are little ****** to do!
ReplyDeleteLovely Bee blocks! I enjoyed doing the Road to Tennessee elements that turn into the Japanese + and x blocks but I guess the '+' bit knocks out the need to line up any points! Great work, big pat on the back for ticking those Bee blocks off your list x
ReplyDeletesome really great blocks andfabrics, enjoy duxford x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks Di! Such a sensible plan doing bee blocks at the start of the month - something I aspire to but never do for some reason!
ReplyDeleteI know the Tennessee blocks are mega fiddly, but the end results are stunning! Lovely block for Rachel too! Happy shopping! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThose are great blocks. I have two different bee blocks done this week and need to get them in the mail, I don't know why that seems more challenging than the blocks sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Road to Tennessee blocks!
ReplyDeleteBut know that your efforts (and swearing) were worth it. They are beautiful blocks! And a great idea to do bee stuff first. I try and make them within a week of the fabrics arriving but - as you well know - I have been woefully short of that target lately!
ReplyDeleteLove your Tennessee blocks, I need to get going on the flying geese again!
ReplyDeleteAll your blocks look brilliant. Especially the ones for me :-) LOVE them. You'll be pleased/relieved to hear I've just done the cutting for your bee block and after I've had a little rest (I'm such a light weight at the moment) I'll be sewing!
ReplyDeleteHow was Duxford? I'm going tomorrow - or should that read today! Best get to bed!
