4x5 Modern Quilt Bee - Blocks Complete

The 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee officially commences tomorrow but we got started early because the organisers were so on the ball. There's a great bunch of ladies in my hive and I've really enjoyed the experience so far. This is only my second bee that I've participated in and the first of it's kind. 3 of us chose an aqua, grey and yellow pallette (I think it's going to hard to separate those blocks ;)

Here they are all together ....

Charise's block ....

 Jessica's block ....

Adrianne's block ....

Rachel's block .... 

Tina's block .... 

My block .... 

Whilst the block's were pretty time consuming, I really loved picking out all of the colours/fabrics and see them come together. I'm not going to make this block for another bee anytime soon but I think it has given me the confidence to get out all of the petals I made for my Neptune Joseph's Coat and start machine stitching them down :)

Joseph's Coat

When I saw the Joseph's Coat Quilt Along over at Don't Look Now I fell in love. I grabbed my favourite Neptune jelly roll and decided that I would get on board. This is just a few of the many, many petals I have made ......

But so far I have only made one block (and it's not quite completed). I really love the look but am feeling daunted by all of that hand applique. So for a start I'm thinking I might machine zigzag the edges with a clear thread and a small stitch so it's not very noticable and try making something smaller such as a cushion or a tablerunner. Any other ideas?
