My Brit Bee Blocks!

My month was January in the Brit Bee.

Most of my blocks are in from the other 11 wonderful gals, and they look soooo goooood!

I'll show you them all laid out when I get the last ones in.  But I remembered that I still have to make 2 blocks of my own to put with them!!  Just because it was my month to crack the whip, doesn't mean I get to slack off making what the others are making!

So here are my 2 log cabin interpretations:

All 24 blocks will be bordered in this lightweight denim.
I have fallen in love with orange this past year, which is amazing because before that I would have said it was my least favourite colour!

Because of the generosity of my Brit bee-ers, I was able to make up this block entirely from their donated scraps!  Thanks girls - your scraps are so much better than mine!

The 2nd block is traditional in design, but done in rainbow coloured scraps.


As for what I have to make for Miss February, I had great fun playing the other evening, but then ran out of bondaweb!  So just as soon as I get more, I'll get my mugshot finished and sent back to Jennie.

Happy Thursday!
