March Bee Blocks . . Part 1

March has started as such a funny month really cold and lovely spring weather with in the same week.

For me throw in traveling, for work, and the daylight savings time change and you have a frazzled woman.

  I'm pretty sure it's calming down as I had a moment of sewing frenzy.  Oh the sewing machine was a going. 

Here's a few photos of what I've gotten accomplished.


This Bee is officially over now.  I'm amazed at how quickly an entire year can fly by. 
Here are my two "tree" blocks. 

Threadheads - Feb '12 Block 2

These came out just as I planned.  Funky to say the least.

So Sarah Sews is hosting another quilting for kids quilt. 
Here are the two asterisk blocks I signed up for.   
Quilting for Kids - '12 Block 2 

I had to "put a bird on it" with the designated color choices.

Meh - they aren't perfect but I leaned a ton with them.  I hope the recipient loves it.
