March bee blocks

After finishing Marcelle (which is now basted and ready for some quilting attention), I decided to tackle March bee blocks.
First up, do.Good Stitches blocks for Natalie. For the second time, Natalie planned ahead for her month and wrote a new tutorial for us to use. Here's what she chose this month. Here is the previous one (a stunner!), if you're interested.

Blocks for Natalie

I really enjoyed making these blocks. They seem complex, but came together quickly. And I love the colors Natalie selected.

Over here, I shared my first word for Jessica's wonky bee quilt. I decided to work on some neutral patchwork to start assembling the quilt top.

Two words and Melissa's amazing paper-pieced star are now assembled. I also pieced the word art.

And that wraps up bee commitments for March.

To quilt!

Now, to quilt!

  2. Jacey-these are all so pretty. I was amazed by your letters, as I am queen of my bee next month and am planning something similar. Did you improv piece or use a pattern for the words??

  12. Okay, I love the colors in that first picture of blocks. I never really thought much about blue and orange together until a friend sent me some dishcloths with those colors and I fell in love.

  13. The paper pieced star is awesome - really, really lovely. But I keep coming back to the log cabin-ish blocks for Natalie's quilt. I'm a huge fan of that pattern and color combo.
