Bonus block

Here are my November bee blocks. I'm not a big fan of the Wanta Fanta block, but I gritted my teeth and got it done. Only to discover the December queen bee wants that block too. Sigh.



I almost forgot at the last guild meeting I signed up to make a block for Victoria's Quilts Canada - a charity that provides quilts to comfort people with cancer. The floral fabric was what I got for my $2 donation and I picked the other two co-ordinating fabrics from my stash while stretching the floral print as far as I could. This seemed the perfect time for this block that I've wanted to try for a while. It came together quickly - exactly what I needed since I had to squeeze in into other deadline sewing.

    Johanna, I really liked the block you made for Victoria's Quilts Canada. Is there an online tutorial available for it? Thanks, Mary.

      There's no tutorial but it's easy, Mary. Start with a 4.5" block for the centre, add 1.5" strips around that and then you need 10 3.5" HST and two 3.5" squares. The block measures 12.5".

    I love the way the Wanta Fanta block looks! I can see why 2 people wanted to use it! And I really like the other block too. I love all of the points.

      The Wanta Fanta block is a bit tricky to get things to line up as nice as I'd like. But the effect is cool.
