I am desperately playing catch up on my Bee blocks and other projects that have been sitting around too long.
First up I have caught up on my Do.good.stitches blocks which included this fun ditty…
A wonderful wonky pin wheel. The pattern is from Greenleaf Goods who have a great tutorial on their site. It was a fabulous scrap buster and I am looking forward to doing my own version.
The other do.Good.stitches block that I have just finished up is the fabulous Granny Square block by Blue Elephant Stitches.
I have made this block a couple of times but love the instructions that my fellow Bee member added… Heather told us to make the white squares extra long… we added 3/4 of an inch to the pattern. This extra wiggle room makes trimming the block so much easier than the original pattern.
We also used 3 inch blocks instead of 2 1/2 inch squares and I am now fired up to use some of my 3 inch square scraps to make more of these blocks. But first I have to finish my original Granny Square quilt.
My Granny Square quilt is still on my 2014 To Do list but this week I did make some progress on the list … I am determined to finish my Denyse Schmidt Zakka flower quilt. I have made the last of the blocks…
And now I am onto sashing. I am hoping to have the top done for a Finish Friday… really hoping.
And of course because it is Wednesday I am linking up to Lee at Freshly Pieced..
WOMBAT QUILTS 
Love your wonky pinwheels!
WOW! These blocks are really lots of fun. But the wonky pinwheel!! What a lot of bias! That one looks like it would be really a challenge!
Mary it was really easy and I did not have any bias problems that I remember!!!
The wonky pinwheel is my favorite! So fun!
You have been BUSY! So many pretty things… I love the tip on that granny square block- I made an entire granny quilt years ago from a print pattern, and the piecing was a pain. I might revisit it one day soon.
I love the Granny Square block. It is so easy and so fabulous. I know there is another one in my future.
I love the idea of increasing the size of the white squares on the edges of a granny square block. If only I’d learned that before I finished my top!
I know…My other granny blocks may be a little wonky because I did not have enough wiggle room.
I haven’t seen anything on your Denyse Schmidt quilt for ages. Looking forward to a big reveal!
Lovely blocks, all of them. You always have the best color combos, too!
I’ve just made one of Ayumi’s flower blocks as a hand-quilting practice piece. I am loving it. I used Tanya Whelan fabrics for a very girly-girl look. I think it might end up as a cushion cover for my goddaughter … if I ever finish hand-quilting it!
Maybe one day I’ll make a whole flower quilt; they are very cute.
Oh, all your blocks are so wonderful, especially the flower block! I’ve got to get myself going and make some ~ thanks for the inspiration!
I actually thought a small flower using liberty would be fun… And very you.
I love everything you have made. Your fabric choices are all perfect! So inspiring!
Thanks so much. I really do enjoy playing with colour.
I love granny square blocks, such fun colors too! That flower is super cute too! You are a paper piecing machine. 🙂
Great comebacks from your sick days!!! I love what you are doing with Ayumi’s modern bloom!
What a great idea, to make the white squares on the granny blocks a bit longer. Brilliant!
I’m working on a Bloom-time quilt too. They are so pretty, those flowers!
That’s too funny! I was admiring the blue and green blocks when I realized it’s the very block (and suggested tutorial) that I have to make for my scrap bee this month!
