4x5 Modern Quilt Bee Blocks Sent

These are the blocks that I recently sent off to my fellow 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee members. I had a lot of fun playing with their colour schemes. I've really been enjoying making dresden plates lately - so much so that I have not 1 but 2 dresden plate quilts in the works.

With one more round of the 4x5 bee I'll have enough blocks to make this sweet quilt complete. I can't believe how well all the colours and fabrics have come together despite 12 different people contributing blocks.

Thanks ladies, I really love each and every one of them!!

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 ....

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 :)

4x5 Modern Quilt Bee

I've joined the 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee on Flickr and I'm pretty excited!

In this Bee, I choose one block that I like and make it for the 5 other people in my group in the colour scheme of their choice and in return I receive 5 different blocks from others in my colour scheme. If I participate in this Bee a few times a year I should end up with enough blocks for a whole quilt!

I've decided on a yellow, aqua, grey and white colour scheme and here's my colour inspiration mosaic ...

1. Tea Garden Star Quilt, 2. WIP, 3. aqua & yellow mini quilt, 4. Ranunculas in Aqua Vase, 5. Birdhouse pillow, 6. Bits and Pieces Bee - April Block 1, 7. front flat on wicker, 8. Susanna's Quilt 1, 9. Sneak Peek, 10. Blues, yellows, grays, 11. FFA 2 - Rob Peter to Pay Paul, 12. Single Girl block, 13. Bee Hexed In, 14. 3x6 bee block - 2nd quarter 2011, 15. Baby Mish Mash, 16. favorite-bowls

Drool!!
