This month's queen bee chose the Union Jack block. I have been admiring the Union Jack blocks for quite a while and had them on my "someday" list as they looked a bit intimidating. They were MUCH easier than I thought they would be and I'm so glad that Sylvia asked for them!
Here is what I came up with:
Sylvia mentioned that she would love some "sciency" material and I thought this green fabric looked like atoms. I hope she likes it.
I am thinking it would be fun to make a copy of each month's block to keep for myself to include in a sampler quilt. I just have to decide on a color scheme. Maybe DS fabrics...I have been hording some for a while. Hmm....
Thanks for stopping by!

Very cute! Glad to have you in the bee this year!
ReplyDeleteHere via WIP Wednesday, those are two very eye-catchingly attractive blocks! I admired your thumbnail for some serious precision piecing (your whites look so straight and accurate!) and now that I see it full-size I love the "atomic" print and the use of the blue plaid.
ReplyDeleteahw, union jacks are on my list for some day! these look great. and sciency. =)
ReplyDeleteMy DH is 'sciency' and would love those 'atoms'. I think it would be fun to make your own sampler of the monthly blocks. Great memento of your new skills and new friends.
ReplyDeleteI love them; thank you so much! The atoms are awesome! I'm glad you found the blocks easier than expected; I'm so grateful Molli wrote such a great tutorial for a complicated block. I've tried the Union Jack before but I had to paper piece it and I ended up getting sections all backwards...
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! I can't wait to see it all together. :)
DeleteBeautifully done. Great fabric choices, color and print!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric choice they really jump out. Great sampler idea.
