LBQB - We have a go situation!

So our first Queen Bee is Lou.......kind of had to be seeing as she roused this rabble of twelve quilters together! Her month is March and she has chosen the Wonky Star as her block

 

This looks like a really interesting, and on the face of it, easy block to make. At the moment I'm trying to think about how I can make it a bit more interesting with my fabric choice!

My month is May so I have a couple of months to decide what block I want. I had originally thought of the Ohio Star block that has always been a favourite

It also has lots of design possibilities by changing the arrangement of fabrics and also by changing the centre square to a square on point. I'll explore these a bit more when I do my post for my month.

 

In the meantime......its back to the Wonky Star!

The Little Blog Quilting Bee

So! It looks like I have signed up for my first quilting bee! All the hard work is being one by Lou at http://imstudiolou.wordpress.com/.

The blog is for UK quilters who have never done a quilting bee before and who have blogs with less than 50 followers........which is me!

We have a lovely logo

 

which we need to make into a blog button too (hint hint). We are all hoping to share our tale via our little blogs, instagram and twitter.

 

We are each going to chose a block each month for the twelve of us to make.

So who are my fellow partners in crime? Well there's me and Lou for starters. Then we have (in no particular order):
