I've been busy with several different projects. Let's start with the blocks for Kat's January / February block drive for blocks for Covered in Love. It's an organization that provides quilts to comfort palliative patients in hospital - the families can take them home after the patient passes. This block was different - it's foundation pieced right onto the batting! We were asked to choose a colour with 1-2 contrasting strips. I chose teal and just cut strips - and ended up with enough to make 3 blocks.
Then there was Jen's Feb. block and colour - yellow. The block is comprised of 4 small spool blocks sewn together after being rotated. 
Angela's SoScrappy colour for February is also yellow. In January, I chose 2 different blocks to work with each month = Half Square Triangles and classic 9-patches. The HSTs will be combined with low volume fabrics; the 9-patches will use differing shades of the colour of the month (2 each of dark corners and 2 with light corners).
All of these blocks were sewn with fabrics from my scraps - and I'll be linking up with Cynthia on the weekend for Oh Scrap!
I'm hoping to post more projects in a day or two... Thanks for stopping by!
Lots of fun blocks shown here. I need to remember to mail my blocks to CIL -- they've been done for a while. I've been working with yellow a lot this month and it's time to move on to another color -- yellow, I'm done with you!
