While avoiding quilting something I've been making more progress with my Star of Africa bee book blocks. They have come from the US, Canada, Guatemala, Finland, Latvia, Germany, the UK, India and one from the Czech Republic which was part of a one-on-one swap!
I received them ages ago but didn't quite know what to do with them. So glad I waited for inspiration to come as I loved setting them in the #booksforbabyquilt frames which really show them off I think. Also I get to add cute fabrics to my stash and my blocks! Win, win !
Anyway you have seen these
And now you can see these !
So pleased with this project and thinking of a rough geographical layout (not to scale).
And then I looked at the quick demo block I had made and realised it couldn't represent the pride of Scotland and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure
Island! So it is back to the drawing board and I will try and recreate Long John Silver - who else?
