bee block.

Since signing up for two virtual quilting bees I now have

a new reason to look forward to the beginning of each month!

Two little packages came this week.

Maybe I should have signed up for more bees....??

I love getting little packages!

Especially ones that are filled with fun fabric!!

I wanted to sign up for more, but decided I better see if I could

keep up with two bees first!

This quilt block is going back to Ruth

from the modern quilt bee.

She asked for a 12.5" block.

For guidelines on How to make the block...she said,

"The sky's the limit!"

"do anything"

and,
"do something that maybe you haven't done before".

I decided to make some waves,

So that those jelly fish and mermaids

would have a place to swim!

I overlapped the first two pieces a little bit
then used my handy dandy
rotary cutter and cut
a very gentle wavy line!



They match!
Sew those two together and then
keep adding waves!


I especially like the way the very simple
embroidery stitches add dimension
to the waves!

I'm now thinking about making waves around
a four patch.
Do you think that will work??
We'll see.
