These blocks were exchanged among the members of the Cotton Pickin Bee.
It was so pleasant to make the blocks. We each made 10 of the same block per participant and exchange them so we each would have all the different blocks.
We had a whole year to complete the blocks. It was not too hard to make them because we could made a few blocks at a time.
It was quilted on my embroidery machine with an Amelie Scott pattern.
I will donate it to the Quilt Guild of the Greater Houston Guild for the comforts program.
The colored pieces were cut 8" by 4" and the squares of light fabrics were cut at 4" square. The only reason I cut at these sizes was because it was the size of some of the leftover pieces from the previous quilt.
I made 12 columns and 5 rows. It is a nice lap size quilt.
December 21st is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere; and so it is the longest night of this winter. Let the lighten days begin....
