At the end of May I got an invitation from Rachel at
Stitched in Color to join the Grace Circle of
do.Good.Stitches. I was really excited to be asked to take part in such a special project. Quilts made in the Grace circle benefit My Very Own Blanket. Unfortunately the circle decided to take a break from making a June quilt so I've been waiting impatiently to get started.
Our block for July is called
Asterisk Flying Geese. I've been slowly working on the blocks over the past week, and have had to spend a lot of quality time with my seam ripper trying to get everything on point.
I had a lovely stack of HST's but I'm terrible at taking in-process pictures! They are made almost entirely of scraps, except for the neutrals which I had to cut from my stash.
I ended up finishing them right before bed last night. I love the scrappy colorful-ness of the blocks and I think they are going to look fabulous all stitched together :)
I'm so excited for a day off tomorrow, hopefully I can get more xplus blocks sewn up now that my bee blocks for July are finished :) What are you working on this week?
Linking up with WIP Wednesday @ Freshly Pieced!
Gorgeous bee blocks!! Welcome to d.gS!! I am part of the cheer circle and love it! Your points look perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, I can't wait to see what the finished quilt looks like. I'm so honored/happy to be part of such a special project!
DeleteThose are very pretty blocks!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They were a fun challenge for me :)
DeleteOoo! This is awesome! I love the way you used both grey and white for your neutrals! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! This month's quilter asked for a variety of neutrals: whites, grays, beige. It's going to look so lovely when it's finished. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI'm absolutely dying, this looks like the greatest quilt ever. So exciting!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I can't wait to see how it comes together. If you go to the Grace do.good.Stitches page on flickr you can see all the awesome blocks so far.
