Vintage Sheet Freedom Bee Update

It's been awhile since I finished my Shoofly blocks up for the Vintage Sheet Freedom Bee. I've gotten some lovely blocks back and I wanted to share with you what some of my fellow Bee-mates (Bee Buddies?  Bee Friends?  Bee-nies?) have been up to.

Ok, you caught me.  I was reminded that I've been meaning to do this post for awhile after reading Anissa's update post and then Jessica's update post the other day.  Whatever.  A good idea is a good idea is a great idea.  ;)

I've gotten 4 blocks back so far and I'm adding the one I made for myself in the mix so you can get an idea of what they all look like together.  I'm thinking I'll pick up a white bedsheet and use it to sash in between the blocks so I put a little white space in there for you.  (I'd make wider sashing than that however.)

1. Dresden Plate Block - by Tracey, 2. Wonky Log Cabin Block - by Leslie, 3. Shoofly Block - by me!, 4. Flying Geese Block - by Mel, 5. Tenessee Block - by Brenda

Here they are a little more closeup.  Trust me, they deserve to be seen and appreciated individually.

First up is the Dresden Plate Block by Tracey.  This is one of my all-time favorite quilt blocks . . . I have never attempted one, but I adore the look of them.  Someday I'll try this out myself and make it into a pillow or something.





Next is a Wonky Log Cabin Block which was made by Leslie.  I really like the wonky look . . . it would be fun to make a wonky sampler sometime . . . wonky log cabins, wonky stars, wonky houses . . . very cute!





I've shown this one before, but here it is again.  The Shoofly Block I made for my own quilt.





Mel sent in this amazingly done Flying Geese Block.  She mixed it up with some sheets from her own stash which I really love!  I am in awe of her perfect points.





And last but certainly not least is the sweet Tenessee Block that Brenda made me.  I love love love the little flowers in the triangles.  Such a sweet feature!





The Bee isn't over until Thanksgiving so there's still lots of time left to go before the blocks are "due".  For now, these lovelies are sitting in a little stack in my sewing room waiting for some more playmates.

You ladies are amazing!  And I'm feeling the need for more vintage sheet projects.  ;)
