I spent most of my free time in Tucson catching up on outstanding blocks for the Bee a Lone Star(burst) Bee. First up, for May, Lee wanted a scrappy rainbow - but not a color wheel. I actually finished my first set of blocks for her on time. And then I posted them. Yeah, I completely forgot the "bright and pure" part of her request.Thankfully, she spoke up. And I am so glad she did. I know that many people (and I am one of them) are often afraid to speak up and correct others missteps in bees and swaps. But, quite honestly, I want to make her happy so I was relieved that she had the courage to tell me that the colors I chose weren't correct, so I could rectify my mistake. So, I'm very late, but I re-made her blocks. I hope these work better.
Then came June. Natalie asked for ombre stars either working from light to dark or dark to light. Her color palate was based on Domestic Bliss using clear and bright plums, berries, pinks, turquoises, teals, and yellow. So I chose to do one in yellow and the other in plum.
Finally, Solidia wanted Christmas colors (but not necessarily Christmas themed) blocks. I had a little winter-y fabric left over from an old swap that I thought would be perfect.
I never meant to get so behind on these blocks. It's embarrassing really. But at least they're done now, and sent off to their deserving homes. Forgive my tardiness ladies! I hope you like them!
Glad you managed to get caught up, hope himself's toes is feeling better!
