Again the requests for the blocks were a real test of my stash, but I think I managed to meet them, just :)
First up a request for black and white blocks with one strip being a colour but not a solid.
The black and white face fabric was a sale purchase before Christmas, which was intended for something else entirely!
Then an easy one, shades of green
This request was bright, bright, bright! I hope it is bright enough :)
Another straightforward one, blue, aqua, orange and teal.
And finally the toughest test of all, French General fabrics and/or colours of which there were surprisingly few in my stash. Fortunately my LQS had a couple of FQ's of French General fabrics, the red, text and brown so once they were in my basket I was good to go.
These blocks are surprisingly quick to make and it is definitely fun seeing how the various fabric choices change the look of the block.
The next round sign-ups opens on February 1st, you can find details of the Bee here if you fancy testing your stash out too.

I love the first block, it is beautiful. The last one is extra pretty, too.
ReplyDeletegood variety here but I find squares much harder to match together than triangles
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white one. You should have given me a shout, i have some french general in my stash
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white faces, they look great! I would have struggled with the green one from stash. I always find green fabric really hard to buy. Great blocks all round and it has made me want to sign up as I love these type of block swaps, but I shall resist!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your creativity in fabric and colors choices to complete the challenge! The faces fabric cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white with the teal and the faces in there is really cool!
