Bento box and some stars

I am madly chain-piecing mixing projects, fabrics, colours etc. Amongst other, I have pieced my 2 Blue Bento Box blocks for the Rainbow challenge for this month.
I have used an aqua fabric from my stash that I bought earlier this month
and long hidden light blue fabric that I bought when I started quilting 10 years ago.
Something new, something old, something blue.... and I have been married 10 years next month!

I have also finally started my star blocks for [3x6] sampler quilt mini bee on Flicker. I choose the Ribbon Star from the Solstice Stars series following the tutorial from Faith at Fresh Lemon Quilts.
This is my test block (this one is mine, I have asked for blocks in pink and purple with a white background)
this is Lisa's block in blue and green
and this is Lisa's block in purple, green and teal (we have 2 Lisa in the group!)
I have another 4 blocks to finish for this swap due by next week-end.

    Great bento blocks. Great variety of mini sampler fabrics, that is the advantage of a swap -- more new fabrics to enjoy!

    Your bento boxes are looking great. I am sure we will all have a great time working with blue.

    Love your bento boxes. I haven't even touched my aqua/turquoise/teal scraps yet! (I dropped in from the Rainbow Scraps Challenge)

    Love bento boxes. So interesting. Pretty star blocks. I'm not familiar with that block.

    Love your Bento boxes and your star blocks. Love the combination of purple and pink/red too.

    Bento looks like a very fun block and a great way to show off scraps too!

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
