October Blocks

For October I would love for you to make the blockbelow from the Tutorial By Amy over at moda bake shop.
Complete instructions here.  I would like to avoid sending out fabric since I am behind schedule...  so here are my thoughts.  I would like everyone to use****EDITED*** a nice crisp white cotton for the background, it .

 Big surprise... I would like the center squares to be pink... any shade or design just make sure the print is pink... no white backgrounds please:)  For the outer four squares I would like them to all be the same fabric... however if you do decided to make a second block( love when that happens but sooo not required)  the four squares can be different.   One other request... sheesh picky .... No BROWNS.  Think pretty girly colors, shabby chic..not mod and funky.  Orange is not my fave unless it is part of a darling floral

I Snagged the Photos from Amy's Moda tutorial.



Guess that is about it...  If you have questions, post them in our flickr pool.

march block :: block o'strings

hello bees!


i hope that everyone is as excited about this as i am::

first of all a big thank you to all of you for providing information and links on the flickr page :: since this is my first bee it was all really useful :: and second since this is my first bee i hope you will all forgive me in advance if i make a mistake ::

i surfed around a bit last night and found this tutorial for a block o' strings :: i really liked it in the photos and thought just to be sure that it was what i wanted i quickly made this this morning ::

i love it :: i followed the tutorial exactly and made each square 6.5 inches , so the finished size is 12" square ( i used a 1/2 inch seam allowance) ::

so here are the deets ::

i am completly fine and would prefer if everyone would make me a block from their own stash :: i have seen many vintage sheets in blogland and know that i have only a tiny bit of what is out there :: i am hoping that if you use your own stash i will get little bits of all of those great sheets i see but don't have :: luckily this thing is made with scraps so it won't use up much if any of your favorite sheets ::

if you don't have enough scraps to make this block let me know, i will happily send you some!

when sending these to me feel free to stuff it into the smallest envelope possible to save on postage :: i have an iron and am positive any wrinkles will iron out just fine::

colorwise i will let each of you decide what you would like to make :: i'm not fussy, i'll just let you know this.... the crazier and wackier the color scheme, the better!

and i am not expecting more than one block from each of you, but if you want to send me more than one i would love it.... and i will send you an extra(s) in return when your month come up!!

if i've missed anything or if you have questions, please let me know.... i usually check my email at night..... happy sewing and i can't wait to hear from you :)
