Modern Insta Bee - September (catch-up post)

-
September was Cara's month. She picked the Stacked Windmills from the book  "Modern Bee - 13 quilts to make with friends", by Lindsay Conner. As we had already done this block before, I didn't do a test block in my usual colours of blue-red-white but went straight for it.

My block has, an almost hot pink centre block, some lovely Spirodraft corners and to round it off two light grey fabrics.


Nearing the end of September, Cara published the following photo on Instagram.


Previously, I had never even considered using grey in quilts, but after working with the block for Cara, I am absolutely and thoroughly in LOVE with it!!!

At the moment we are working on the four areas around the road, each representing a season. As everything is hand sewn it is a rather slow process, but great fun! Our latest thinking is that we should try to focus the summer season on blue, yellow and red to make sure they all match each other. Some of the "flowers" in the picture above has therefore been moved to other seasons or been put in the "perhaps" pile. A rough count in the photos shows that we have stitched together a little over 500 hexagons, plus the road; someone mentioned that we probably need around 2000...
