It has been one busy week for quilting around here. I haven't finished an actual quilt, but that doesn't mean my sewing machine hasn't gotten a workout. I finished Ursula's block for the beejeebers quilt bee.
This is the block before it was sewn together. I was so excited to finish, I mailed it to Ursula before getting a photo of its completion. It is a beautiful block and I think that her quilt is going to be just stunning!!! There are 48 different prints within this block, and I think almost everyone in the bee is doing the same. Wow!
I have also been turning out Granny Squares left and right this weekend. You can see the original tutorial here and the flickr group for the quilt-a-long here. There are some beautiful blocks being shown off over there! I decided to use a Fandango jelly roll. I am totally in love with this fabric. It is gorgeous!!!! Here is what I have done so far:
Aren't they yummy? The last pic is a close up of my favorite so far (I think). I might try to make some more tonight or maybe tomorrow. Tom and the boys have been so sweet to let me have some "me time" this weekend. I love all my boys :)
Hope everyone else is having a fun, safe, and productive weekend as well!!!

Love the granny squares!! I admire yours so much I'm about ready to bust out some 1930s rolls and start one for myself. I still need to get my block for Ursula together. It's been a slow, slow weekend!
