bee blocks

I've been participating in the 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee on Flickr, and the deadline was this past Sunday. I sent out my blocks last week and look at what I've recieved in return! (Actually, I got all these blocks well before I sent mine out... my hive mates were efficient like that.)

The top left block is the one I made and sent out to my fellow hive members in their colors. I love the ones I've gotten in return... the different oranges and aquas play so nicely together! These are the blocks I sent out:

I've already developed two options for next quarter and I'm excited to get started!

I should have posted this photo in February, but these are the blocks I made for the Fort Collins Modern Quilt Guild Bee for Tara:

And these are the blocks I made for Jody in March:

Next up in April are Granny Squares for Jane! I'm excited about these; granny squares have been on my list for a while. Jane's blocks will be good practice. Uhhh... I mean, I'll need to practice before I start Jane's blocks. ;)

This weekend I get to be all quilty with some dear friends at a Spring Quilt Retreat! Love, love, love these weekends. And love, love, love my hubby for taking care of the baby so I can go!
