Traveling Quilts ~ Round Two
I’m having so much fun each month with The Traveling Quilts bee – both creating blocks and watching the rest of the group work. (If you aren’t familiar with the bee, see this and this.) For round two, I received Penny’s blocks from Jacquie. Penny started her quilt with the “Grow” section with the sprouts and the basket. I think we can all agree that she is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G paper piecer. Jacquie added the perfect selection of scrappy tulips.
I decided that every garden needs a sun to grow – so I made a sunshine using this template from the Purl Bee. I was inspired to use this pattern by Jeni’s color wheel. I think this was my first time making a circle. It wasn’t so bad! Lots of pins though. My blocks looked like torture devices as I was sewing them. The quilt blocks are now off to Ashley, I can’t wait to see what she adds!

I love how this quilt is progressing. I think your addition of the sun is perfect. I love the way you have strip pieced the rays!
What fun! Anyone along the line can choose to put the blocks together right?
Yes! I was thinking about doing it this round, but I just wasn’t sure I was ready to have the quilt “committed” to a layout just yet.
This is awesome and looks like so much fun.
I love this whole series you guys are doing. So fun watching those quilts travel around and see each person’s interpretations. Your sun looks great!
WOW! This bee is the most inspiring thing I’ve seen in a while! You all are amazing!!

Looks like lots of fun! I think that the sun was a perfect addition

I love your sunshine so much, Faith! And I would not be able to commit to putting it together either – it’ll be the same for me, I’m sure! Unless I was the end person, then it’d be so much fun! Penny is going to have one awesome quilt!
Love all the elements in this! Co-incidentally I just got an e-mail from the person currently working on my travelling quilt (which is secret) who was having a little wibble!
wow! this is so great!
oh how I love all those blocks! My traveling bee is on it’s second month and it is so fun. We are still keeping things a secret.
