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.
ReplyDeleteoh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! i want to copy you.
ReplyDeleteno cursing here! thankfully. now the asterick block from last week? that was mighty close!
very cute. Well done. Colors look great together.
ReplyDeleteI really like this block!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I had to do a Valentine's themed block once too and I made nearly exactly the same block.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I really admire you--drawing the pattern yourself. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteFabulous block!
ReplyDeleteTotally 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!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you used in this too ...
