Your fabric for the November block is on it's way! When I first joined this Bee last year I knew exactly what block I was going to do - until I saw the fabulous improv quilting you all do and I totally changed my mind. And so, at the risk of being Lady Redundant Woman, I am asking for <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Improv Log Cabin </span></b>blocks!<br />
<br />
I would really love 2 blocks each, if that's feasible. One that is 13.5" unfinished and one that is anywhere between 8-12". <br />
<br />
I'd prefer more square than wonky.<br />
<br />
I'm feeling like I sent way too much fabric. Use what you want and please return scraps. <br />
<br />
I'm going to sash with Kona Snow. I've included a piece for you to use where ever you like including the outside edge if you want.<br />
<br />
Feel free to use any of your own scraps, but please stick to the color scheme provided - mostly reds and browns with a little bit of golds, blues, and greens. (Think Momo, American Jane or Denyse Schmidt.)<br />
<br />
Don't worry about a siggy block. Just sign or initial one of your bigger blocks.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to everyone - I can't wait to see what you do!<br />
<br />

This block was so much fun to put together. I loved the new technique (yet again, one I've wanted to try for ages and finally a good excuse to do so) AND I loved working with Erica's vintage fabrics. I even added a little piece of a vintage fabric of my own (Erica - you were the first person for whom I ever cut into this fabric!) It's the ABC print fabric.<br />

Here is my September block for Vicki. As with some of the others I used 3 squares of my own fabric and also made 4 rows of sashing. I had to hide these squares from my daughter because she wanted all of them. I did cut some squares for her and she told me that it was not enough. Guess I will be cutting more! I will send this along in a couple of days with my October fabric.Dresden Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271910749619198419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517716028383036726.post-71150235376135549162010-09-28T06:41:00.000-07:002010-09-28T06:41:28.325-07:001963<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHV6VNXzYrNwuA37pLZZgrSYq6uXmwEP0ax62Kxewst7dESq05F0htx-04E9MXzakvj0KfYb3W3H4EKyLHqqlexMRxxoX8NySmY_G_KSVcrUDQdFjKBnCHgBfsMeOU8zxRN6Kg12uMPto/s1600/DSC02144.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHV6VNXzYrNwuA37pLZZgrSYq6uXmwEP0ax62Kxewst7dESq05F0htx-04E9MXzakvj0KfYb3W3H4EKyLHqqlexMRxxoX8NySmY_G_KSVcrUDQdFjKBnCHgBfsMeOU8zxRN6Kg12uMPto/s1600/DSC02144.JPG" /></a></div><br />

I finally got everyone's packages in the mail today! Sorry I am so late with this--I wasn't feeling well and then also had out of town company, but now things are heading back towards normal. Please don’t feel like you have to rush to get the block back to me by the end of the month!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/17723088@N00/4248815021/" title="an idea by vickivictoria, on Flickr"><img alt="an idea" height="349" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2552/4248815021_6943d71764.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><br />
I have sent each of you a bunch of 2” squares. The block is simple: sew the squares into a block that is 6 squares across and 6 squares down. I will trim them (if needed) and add the white strips later.<br />
*Please no interfacing; I don't want the extra weight from interfacing in some but not all blocks. <br />
*Press your seams to one side rather than open--if some blocks have seams pressed open and some are pressed to the side, there could be small variations in the size of the finished blocks. (you could ask how I know this...)<br />
*I would love it if each of you would include one or a few 2” squares of your own fabric choice in your block. Please avoid very pale pastels or prints with a large amount of white; also no browns or brownish colors please and thank you! (My sample block, pictured here, has more white and pale pastels than I’ve decided I want in the finished quilt, just FYI.)<br />
*Use whatever thread you have on hand that you feel is appropriate.<br />
*For your signature block, please sew together 3 squares, press the seams, and then sew the strip of squares to the white 2”x5” rectangle I’ve included. Sign your name on the white. :)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/17723088@N00/4971379338/" title="signature block for Sept. bee blocks by vickivictoria, on Flickr"><img alt="signature block for Sept. bee blocks" height="298" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/4971379338_461780369d.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div>*You will have some left over squares. You can either send them back to me or sew them into strips of 8 squares (I’d love it if you do this.) The sashing in between the blocks will be made of strips of 2” squares.<br />
*I only need one block from each of you--thanks so much!Vickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10088213674978515287noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517716028383036726.post-57693288947005826662010-09-01T11:22:00.000-07:002010-09-01T11:25:58.847-07:00I'm done, too!<div style="text-align: center;">Perfect timing with the new quilt along starting up next week over at <a href="http://alamodefabric.blogspot.com/">Heather's</a>!<br /></div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCU-IYkcAs1R4YPQas8iKBMg6FtQI4EV_2qoVsHrM-sFviwfgUZgUfHgxpIo26_Cx_chlnzeego1Gzm_62a9m-EUfh-XUp_gIJBsMGQi9blt1UxgWovvrMQTuyLZFqG4CTiYJnYJdDbZg/s1600/bee+erica.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCU-IYkcAs1R4YPQas8iKBMg6FtQI4EV_2qoVsHrM-sFviwfgUZgUfHgxpIo26_Cx_chlnzeego1Gzm_62a9m-EUfh-XUp_gIJBsMGQi9blt1UxgWovvrMQTuyLZFqG4CTiYJnYJdDbZg/s400/bee+erica.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512012373950054370" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I'm so glad we got to try this out.
