Nubees Blocks for August

So excited to finally share these with you all! I made these blocks just using HSTs, and I really enjoyed pulling all of these colors! Let's get to it:

Kelli W, our hive mama, asked for aquas, yellows, and grays on a white background for a quilt for herself. I didn't have a lot of aqua or gray so went to do a little shopping and came up with this block:


Michelle continued her requests for oranges, teals, and turquoises on a white background. I really love the orange and teal combo fabric in this block:


Sarah is making a fun quilt for her god daughter who is turning 5. She asked for bright greens, pinks, and purples on white. These colors were fun to work with - who doesn't want to make fun bright kid quilts?


And last but not least, Francine asked for primary colors for a quilt she is starting, This was the most daunting. I had no modern primary colored fabric, so I had to borrow from M and do some shopping. What do you think of the final product?


Here they are all together! I had so much fun making these and immediately signed up for September's swap!


And of course I had to make one for M, because we also made blocks for each other :-) She wanted eggplants and mustard yellows on gray:


And my second block arrived from Sarah!!! Isn't it wonderful?!??!?!


Sorry this post was so very block heavy - but I am just super excited about it all! Still working on my camera  skills, and hopefully they all got their blocks by today - I was going for the element of surprise!

Happy Saturday all!
