More Scrappy Star Blocks - Rainbow Bee

How about a bit of inspiring sewing to brighten your day?! Like the wonderfully whimsical and sweet scrappy blocks that Natalie sewed and sent me for my turn as the recipient quilter in our online quilt bee.

Flowering Snowball Blocks - Rainbow Bee

I can hardly believe that this is the last month in my year of sewing quilt blocks in the Rainbow Quilt Bee!  March's Queen Bee, Leah, chose the Flowering Snowball block for everyone to sew, using soft low volumes and pastel pinks, mints, blues and yellows, with all blocks having a red center.

Rainbow Bee - Scrappy Star Blocks

Two pretty blocks and extras from Leah!

Remember me sharing that I got to choose a block for my quilt bee mates to sew for me, at the start of this year?   The tutorial for this scrappy star block can be found on Jennie's blog, Clover and Violet 

Testing, testing 1...2...3...4...5!

I used a treasured Japanese cotton print featuring Little Red Riding Hood for my final pattern testing on a zipper pouch design I have been working on.

My sewing room has been filling up with test versions as I work on a zipper pouch design.   It's a bit like the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, as I search for a size that is "just right".
