I went upstairs last night and finished Mari's Free Bee block - and here it is.....
I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and I've left it a bit bigger so that it can be trimmed by Marianna to suit when she gets everyone else's and fit's them together.
Another thing I worked on last night was dyeing 5 FQ's to go with the 5 Zen FQ's I've had lurking in my stash for a few years.
At the Threave Guild meeting on Monday night I was asked to do demo/talk on the 'hourglass' block. So I've decided to use these Zen fabrics and make a top with them for showing on the night.
I've carefully looked at how I can maximise the use of each FQ with the 'hourglass' block and think I'll be able to get something that will work a treat (here's hoping that this is not just wishful thinking).

The block looks really good...what sort of fabric due you use for your dying? I've probably asked this before - sometimes I think my mind has gone walk-a-bout.
Like all the fabric you have picked out.
Your block is beautiful! So soft but still modern looking. I'd like to know about dying fabrics, too. Maybe I should have checked your archives before typing this, aye? Silly cookie...
Love your block! And the fabric you dyed works perfectly with the Zen!
Your block turned out great!
What a fabulous block! I love hand dyes, it's so rewarding when you can use them to create a particular texture.
ooooo - pretty set of fabs together! And yes, that block is fantastic.
You're block is absolutely wonderful....can't wait to see it in real life. Thank you so much,I really love it!!
