After some lovely and encouraging comments on my last post in a few idle moments I made some more pieced triangles....
I mixed them up with some plain solid ones as I cannot see me making a quilt out of these little darlings (each side is about 7.5") - I'm just not that patient!
But then I thought this would make a great border and what if I sized them up a notch for the main body of the quilt and then asked some bee mates to help me out? Either Modern Stitching Bee or Bee a Brit Stingy Bee?? Or both??
I will have to work out how to scale them up but I'm hoping my maths is up to it and if it isn't I know someone who can and has offered to help me on the maths front in the past! Shhhh! I haven't told her yet!
This pattern is called Arrowhead and can be found in brown (not so pretty) on page 18 of the Modern Blocks book compiled by Susanne Woods.
The book looks like this:
And you can get your copy here!
There is another block that caught my eye in this book - might get a chance to try that one out soon!
It seems that bees help you try different things when making blocks for others but also when trying to decide what to ask for! Have tried out at least four different options already and must decide for July and August - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Anyway if they don't become quilts they can always becomeUFOs cushions!

I actually quite like the brown Arrowhead block (but I'm being contrary still). This book is brilliant, there's loads I would like to make from it but never get round to.
ReplyDeleteLove those blocks! I have the book as well but shy away from Y seams to save my sanity ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you've been busy, some gorgeous blocks here, good luck with the maths x
ReplyDeleteThe right fabric really changes that block; looking good xxx
ReplyDeleteArgh! Get Bee Stingy to do them.... lol Lovely blocks tho.
ReplyDeleteSo that is where the UFOs go!
ReplyDeleteTake Sarah's advice and get the stingy bees to do them as I would love the challenge. Di x
ReplyDeleteThey're absolutely wonderful! I love how you're combining fabric/colors.
ReplyDeleteWell, as I said, I will be happy to make some for you in the bee a brit stingy bee. They look great
ReplyDeleteThey are AWESOME, love the fabrics you picked :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you're trying so many things out for your bees lol
ReplyDeleteWow! They look just fantastic!
ReplyDeletePerfect Y seams N! You're right, these would make a stunning border! Better get the masses working then! Jxo
ReplyDeleteWow they are amazing! I'm behind on blog reading and haven't read your first post yet - but these are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNow those look great!!! And soooo much better than the brown ones in the book! I'm sure Helen will be a great help even if she doensn't know it yet :)
ReplyDeleteI love them! I also love maths and playing with numbers so will definitely help with the scaling up!
