I hope you all had a good weekend. My weekend wasn't exactly what was planned (lots of time in the sewing room) but it was better (good quality time with my husband).
I wanted to show you my latest bee block for one of my bee mates at the We Bee Learning Beginner Bee on Flickr. She requested the Log Cabin block with a black center and pink. My guess is that she'll be using black elsewhere in the quilt. I thought the light and dark pinks from Ruby worked well.
I also finished my Cotton Club blocks for last month. They're giving me fits this time around and I realized upon taking this picture that I need to rip the one out again - the middle right one. It's as a result of me determining that I didn't need to read the directions - I could just look at the pictures (and do a poor job of it at that)! The photo isn't great here but you get the idea. Oh yeah, the top block? Too small. Good times.
I've pulled two projects out of my stitching kits and hope to start on one of them this week. Both of these efforts are related to the Theme-A-Licous theme for March - appropriately named March Madness! I also hope to pick up Anniversaries of the Heart sometimes soon. I'm at a point on a block that I'm not really enjoying and I just need to push through it.
I'd also like to invite all of you to visit The Azalea Sampler Guild and Friends blog where you'll see our group status on the Ann Dale SAL.
Wishing you all happy stitches!

I always love your quilt blocks - So pretty ;)
Your quilt blocks look so pretty. Oh my you have been very busy. Thank you so much for the link to your Guild - Ann Dale. Love it:)
I think your CC blocks look great, but I know that a couple of them were a little harder than the others. I think that block that you want to rip apart is the same one that I sewed wrong.
About the too small block - just put a piece of fabric around it to get it to the right size. I don't know if you're getting enough with your kits to do another block over. I'm going to end up doing that on a couple of my Farmer's Wife blocks because I honestly don't want to do them over. I guess it's all about improvising.
Your first block looks great. It's fun to see some pink in a quilt.

That log cabin block is pretty! Love the Cotton Club blocks. Too bad you have to do some ripping. I have to zip over and see everyone's progress on Ann Dale now. :D Thanks for the link!
What a lovely log cabin block - the fabrics are so sweet! I think your Cotton Club blocks look GREAT.
How fun that you are doing the Ann Dale stitchery as a SAL! The design is wonderful for this piece!
Love the blocks! OH and must mention love the header quilt!!!
Love the pinks in that Log Cabin block. I just bought a couple of fat quarters today in similar shades.
I give up. What's wrong with the middle right block?
Jackie I love all your quilt blocks!!

Thank you for the link to the Ann Dale samplers. I have enjoyed looking at all the WIPs. I cant wait to start.
great looking blocks!
Such nice quilt blocks! Now I'm off to follow your link and see the Ann Dale SAL progress.
Great blocks and your log cabin Ruby with the black is so neat! That is the first time I've seen Ruby with black....perfect!
I think the true beauty of quilting is the experimenting done with fabrics, colours, patterns, etc!
Lovely blocks, as always! Too bad about the one being too small. I've been there.
Quality time is DH is always a winner! Love the quilt blocks. :)
The log cabin block is lovely! I adore the fabric choices
Your blocks are beautiful! I decided to stop by and glad that I did...I can see that you are keeping yourself busy. Joe and I are moving into a much bigger house in June, so we are super busy.
