August Bee Blocks

Another month, another round of bee blocks. For the Free Bee, Leanne She Can Quilt asked for tiny improv blocks framed by neutrals. I did a bit of curved strip piecing, surrounded by off-white cottons and linens.
The block is 15.5x15.5, unfinished. I have a feeling Leanne's quilt is going to be gorgeous.
For the Traveling Quilts, I worked on Amber one Shabby Chick's quilt. There's so much energy in the quilt already, I decided to go low volume. I added the column to the left of Monica's spool and thread.
The bird in the middle of the quilt looked lonely so I gave him a friend to sit between my three log cabin blocks.


More precisely, there are two courthouse steps blocks and a chevron log cabin. Any now Penny gets to take a shot at this one, too!
And one extra photo, with drama provided by concrete and wind.
