sew & tell - more quilting bee catch up!

I have been sorely lacking in my promptness of getting bee blocks back to their owners.  I have 3 more blocks to share today which brings me to only one more block on the list - and it's the one for October!  So really, I'm caught up!

I did these two Denyse-Schmidt-Drunk-Love-in-a-Log-Cabin-inspired blocks for the lovely Amy of Vintage Fern.
For Amy R.


For Amy R.


She has such a distinct eye for vintage sheets and fabric!  Personally, I think the pink and green one looks better, mostly because I did it 2nd and didn't make some of the same errors as I did on the first one.

This next block was causing me some creative block in my brain.  Tara of Tiny Glutton sent us a couple inspiration links initially, but when I went back to find them I only found one - it was of a Union Jack pillow.  Super cute!  But I wasn't feeling the love for doing one of them.  The other link I remember was a dolled up vinatge-y caravan decorated a la Cath Kidston.  I found the link (really - you must go see it!  It's my dream house) again Wednesday morning as I was trying to figure out what to do - and then I saw it:

Buntings!

Flowers!

Windows!
For Tara and her caravan 
I worked on it off and on all day because I was so excited and wanted it finished!  It's in my top 3 of favorite blocks I've done for my bee.  I really need to make an aqua and red quilt.  REALLY.  Must start collecting fabric.

Thanks for a great link up party last week!  I think the new rules for linking will help us have a great time together!  I won't be around much this weekend, so pardon my absence from replying and commenting - I'll be checking in next week.  Can't wait to see what you accomplished this week!


NEW RULES FOR LINKING UP!  Please read carefully.  The delete monster will be eating non-compliant links.
1. Please write the post for sew & tell - or add a blurb mentioning sew & tell to a post written earlier in the week.  Link to any tutorials you may have used, even your own. 
2. One linky per person. (please put multiple projects in one post.)
3. Link to your specific post.  (See here for permalink instructions - or email me.)
4. Link back here with a link or a button.
5. Comment away!
