Scrappy Quilt Around the World Bee

It really is a Scrappy Trip Around the World Bee and it is being hosted by Julie Hirt @627 Handworks.  I am making scrappy blocks for my Bee friends.  It is a lot of fun participating in this bee and sending goodies off around the world.  It is also very lovely to receive them!

I have completed four blocks and number 5 is on the sewing machine.  It has been fun completing these blocks .  There are a few key points for sewing this block…..a very..very scant quarter inch seam, pressing after sewing each seam and pin pin pinning to ensure seams matched.  I have received two blocks and looking forward to the postman delivering some more to help make my quilt top.

I must say quilting is great fun and participating in the blogging community is even better.  If you have never quilted and are tempted….. check out Sarah’s beginner tutorials @ Sarah Quilts.

I am linking this post up to Quilt Story’s Fabric Tuesday and Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday.  Stop by and check out all the projects on these linky parties.

Hope your week is going well ………..have fun.
