A sneak peek at my next project, another string quilt. Cant give too much away yet but I have made lots of string sets in black/white and hot pink.
Which will be turned into diamond blocks like this.
I will share more on this on the coming weeks as the quilt top progresses.
Apart from strings I have been working feverishly to catch up on my bee obligations for this month.
I made 2 paper pieced stars using the same pattern. One for Queen Kelly in rainbow colours.
And one for me in my own colourway (green, grey and white).
I had to make these blocks twice. Thought I was clever and knew how to make Granny blocks. When I finished I discovered our queen wanted four rounds. Of course I made blocks with three rounds so had to start again. Note to self.....always, always, always read the instructions before starting a block!
And finally, I finished Round 2 Supernova block. It was my partners turn to chose our inspiration colour this month and she chose green. I am so glad she did because I love green and have heaps of in in my stash.
I just hope my block is not too green. I probably should have put a bit more contrast in this but l love it and I think it will go nicely with the lilac block from last month. I can't wait to get my partner's block to see how they all play together.
Until next time.

And in another bee group Queen Rose requested black/red/white granny square blocks.
