design camp 2

its my month as queen bee at the design camp 2 flickr group so this weekend I made my sample block and cut and packaged fabric to send away.


I decided to go with the mod mosaic block by Elizabeth Hartman of Oh Fransson that I've been wanting to do for a while.

as I had to send fabric to 11 people my main concern was having enough of the same fabric to send out so I searched my stash and discovered some yardage of hot pink and lime green Kona solids and I started from that - then I spotted the Patty Young Blossom which had orange centres and so I added some orange as well - luckily the last two FQS blogger's bundles I received had some great pink, lime, and orange fabrics from Patty Young as well so I managed to get enough fabric together to send out.

I've given my fellow campers a warning that they might need their sunglasses on while making the block!

I'm going to use hot pink as the background for the front and I hope to have some blocks to use on the back as well - with the lime green background.  I've also tracked down some more of the monaluna orange spot to use for the binding so it will be one pretty bright quilt !  Just the thing to snuggle under on cold winter nights :)

Also on the weekend I finished the May and June design camp 2 blocks so I could send those off with the packages !

Mims sent some fabulous orange fabrics and asked for an improv block for May


while Tiff's June block request was for an improv robot.


The robot took a while to put together but I'm pretty happy with the end result!

hope you had a great weekend :)
