Block A Week Quilt-A-Long

While watching the KnitGirllls podcast, Leslie highlighted a sewcial bee sampler on Maureen Cracknell's website.

It looked fun and every wednesday, a pattern is released for a block.  There are 25 in all so I decided to partake.

I ended up stash diving and came up with the 4 main colors in batiks.

I went out and got a few more batiks which were 25% off at Beverly's to round out the colors.

I thought the sea turtles would be great as the backing and the purple for the sashing and binding.  I needed some color help from Peggy and she steered me to the aqua blue for the frames.

I didn't start this when it was announced so I'm a few weeks behind already, but I was able to get the first 3 blocks done.
