These paper pieced quilt blocks were created for a quilt bee, the Wonky Quilt  Bee.  They are pieced and the patterns are available for free!

I finished the Wonky Quilt Bee blocks a bit late.  The past two months, I had Jacey’s blocks.  I waited until the last minute, so they sat there for quite awhile, unfortunately.  Despite my tardiness, I love how the blocked turned out!

Both blocks are paper pieced.  The above block is a Lone Star Burst.  I first saw a version of it on Six White Horses.  I’d downloaded a template for it ages ago, and knew it was perfect for Jacey’s quilt.

The second block I made is a Scrap Attach Block from from blank pages . . .  (I know that totally sounds grammatically incorrect!).  I love how the colors come together on this one.

I didn’t get a photo of all the blocks together before I packaged them up.  I chose to leave my blocks unattached, partly because of time, but also because I wasn’t sure how they would all fit together and decided to leave that up to the next person on the list!

I’m still participating in the Wonky Quilt Bee.  We’re taking it a bit slower this round, having two months to work on the other person’s block.  We’re also doing a traveling quilting this round, so each person will receive a full quilt top at the end of our bee.

This month, I had Amanda from The Craft Junky.  She asked for blocks that matched her personality (a tall order) and gave a list of things she liked.  Here’s her list:

Dr. Who
The Alien Movies
Star Wars
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Joss Whedon
Firefly
Legos
Superheros (Batman is #1 fave!)
Lord of the Rings
Star Trek
Dr. Horrible’s Sing along Blog
Felicia Day

The Labyrinth
The Princess Bride
Big Bang theory

Yeti

lochness monster

Transformers
She-Ra
Thundercats
Tron
Monty Python
toys and dolls
vintage cameras, particularly polaroids
arrows, feathers, stars and triangles

I love her list!  It’s awesome.  Being an avid Princess Bride fan, I decided to go that route.

I re-created the Cliffs of Insanity and appliquéd “inconceivable” on it.  The appliqué pulled the base fabric a bit, but I think it will be okay once everything is quilted.

The second thing I made was this long arrow.  Originally, I’d intended on doing a feather, but it didn’t work out so well, so I transformed it into an arrow.

Here’s the entire quilt so far.  I love seeing how everything comes together.  I’m excited to see all the quilts as they move from person to person.
