Here is my sketch from Wednesday night:
And here is the block I finished just a half hour ago:
This is a bee block for a friend in the May Moms Bee. She sent me cool colors plus red with the instructions to make a block to represent February. I'm not big on hearts, but paper piecing letters was right up my alley.
Now I'm off to make a potholder for my mom. Must craft as fast as I can before I get home to the toddler tomorrow.
P.S.: Melissa can attest to the amount of mistakes I made last night in trying to remember how to paper piece again. There was quite a bit of mild cursing, also.
P.P.S: Amanda made her block on time, too. I'll have to ask her if there was any cursing on her part.

Nice! I love your eye for colour - the pale turquoise, the darker turquoise and then that ka-pow red - just beautiful and really crisp.
oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! i want to copy you.
no cursing here! thankfully. now the asterick block from last week? that was mighty close!
very cute. Well done. Colors look great together.
I really like this block!
This is awesome! I am determined to make one this week now that I am home again and settling back into my routine. Yours is so perfect!
Very cool! I had to do a Valentine's themed block once too and I made nearly exactly the same block.
This is beautiful! I really admire you--drawing the pattern yourself. Good for you!
Fabulous block!
Totally wonderful block! I wish I could get the hang of paper foundation piecing. I guess I should actually have another go, rather than just assume it's impossible!
I love the fabrics you used in this too ...
