Somehow I had such a productive day today! I went to a baby shower, did my homework, made 3 quilt blocks, and used the elliptical for an hour - what an awesome Saturday! No cleaning got done and that was on the list... but o well... I can blame that on the homework, not the fun stuff, right? hehe
Here are some blocks I was working on today - all 3 are for my "Orange, Aqua, Grey" quilt which will be made 50% from bee blocks I received last year.

| Granny Square Block |
 |
| Long Log Cabin Block - using my 1st piece of Mendocino I received as an "extra" in a swap last year! |
 |
| Orange Joseph's Block - Love those HR puppies! |
I want to make a quilt just like this - with a swoon block in the center and my bee blocks all around it:

I think it might end up being too small if I do this tho. I could add a border.. or I could add another row on each side and another column on each side... we shall see. I still need to make the swoon block and 5 or 6 more just to make one as big as above, so I have some time to think about it.
Hope you all had a productive or at least enjoyable Saturday too!

I love all of your blocks. I am working on a bee block right now, and the recipient's colors are orange and aqua with a grey background. :o) Also, that quilt looks really good with a swoon in the middle! Can't wait to see yours if you do it that way. Hope you're having a great weekend! xo
Great blocks... a girl NEEDS her creative time, yes?
That is a cool quilt with the Swoon block in the middle... looking forward to watching your version evolve!
Yay for productive days. I got an entire New York Beauty done, but it was a long slog lol
I had to work this weekend. So, no productivity.
I agree that the quilt needs another column on each side. Can't wait to see the finished product.
love the "orange, aqua, grey" combination..all the blocks are so pretty! I can't wait to see how your finished quilt will turn out..exciting :)
Love the block colour combos! Really eye catching! Can;t wait to see how you make the quilt! =D
When we move to Delaware (in August), can I make a quilt just like that with you? Ah! I envy all your projects - so fun!

Hooray for productive days! :) I love your blocks! :) I think your quilt is going to be gorgeous! I am just finishing up my *last* bee block. wink wink. :)
