Friday Bee Fabrics

I joined an online Canadian Sewing Bee!

You can check out the links to each participant from my sidebar, too.

Here are the fabrics I received from Marianne for May:


I played with them a bit on my cutting table - without cutting!

Hesitating to cut into the goodies, I decided to make a test block with some Christmas fabric.

Which was a good idea.
I'm modifying the size of Quilt Dad John's Moda Bake Shop block to get a 16 1/2 inch unfinished block. I need to add another inch still. I'm glad I made the block so I can see where an extra inch would look good in the design.

I'm seriously considering making a Christmas block
for each Bee block so I end up with
a Modern Christmas Bee quilt.

Or at the very least, I'll end up with another pile of coordinated blocks!

With Joy,
