Silhouette Challenge and Bee Blocks

I participated in a challenge from Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts to use a group of her new Silhouette shapes (laser cut shapes of batik fabrics already backed with fusible web) to create something...

This is the before...


And this is the after...
She has a blog post with a slideshow of the many wonderful entries here.  I believe these are making their debut at quilt stores later this month.

I also have my Sew.Bee.Create Bee blocks finished for May, Toni asked for "wonky" blocks and sent us each 4 solids to play with.  This is what I came up with...



 Sort of a wonky cross...my engineer background struggles with this wonky stuff and I end up doing wonky in an "ordered" way, lol...
 This one above is a wonky uneven 3/4 log cabin with a "reflection"...I would not have paired these particular colors together myself but I like the finished effect.  This Bee has been a good experience trying new things :)

  1. The blocks so far make me wonder what different color combinations everyone received. I like the reflection part of your block a lot.
