This is my starter block for the quilt around the world bee. My idea is for a whole neighbourhood of houses, each block showing the personality of the person that made it for me.
The whole quilt should come together pretty quickly, there are 24 of us, and we each get a week to do our block before we mail the top so far on to the next person. I'm really excited to see how it turns out, and to see all of the other blocks people have made in the group. We all have different tastes and abilities, so it's a melting pot of creativity.
The block I made is from Nanette's blog, and was so simple to make. It took me about a half hour from start to finish, including pulling out fabrics and cutting.
