August is Amy's month for SewConnected. She's making something similar to this and asked for blocks of various sizes. So with my scraps and with the fabric she sent along, I made these for her.
The smallest blocks are two inches including seam allowances. They were so fun to make!
August is LauraJay's month for 8two8. She requested I Spy houses and figured out a pattern for us to use. And you know I love doing I Spy! Here is that I made for her.
September is my month for 8two8. I am requesting blocks with free pieced words. One of each person's four words is her name. The other three words are chosen from a list of words I posted to the group. I also requested solid or solidish backgrounds and prints for the letters. Here is my first block.
What are you working on?
ps - thank you all for the nice comments you leave. they always give me a smile.

Your blog is one of my FAVORITES! I get excited any time I see that you've posted something new. Your work appeals to the WILD side of my creativity, challenging me - daring me - to go with my instincts. It seems like the more I move toward your style, the closer I move toward the real me on the inside! Know what I mean? Sorry if I sound creepily stalkerish...
I LOVE these two ideas!!! Your letters look great, do you use Lazy Gal's tutorials? I've got lots of free time this weekend, I do believe I'll go give these a try!
These are looking great! All I have to say is"ILUVHOUSES!" I really like the wild combinations.
Those blocks are all so free. I am way structured in the way I do things. Right now, I am working on not being lazy and getting my act together to start working on Christmas gifts.
So...Sarah...can I use purple in your block? Or would you rather I didn't? Lol! I totally understand if you would rather have a "purple-free" quilt!
Gorgeous as always! Your quilts are so inspiring. I'm currently working on hand quilting a baby blanket. Only my second quilt to attempt, but I really love doing it!
I always love what you do. You have such a great eye for color. Your choices are sometimes unconventional but look so great. And you houses always catch my eye!! I want to make some right now.
I totally get you on the virtual quilting bees thing. I am in two, as well, and some months I feel like the only quilting I get done is my blocks. I love sharing the quilt love, and being stretched, but I also like to make things that I love just because I love them, with no restrictions.
I like the squares -- they are awesome.
Aside from finishing DQS7 and my virtual quilting bee blocks, I'm working on a baby quilt for my friend with almost my entire Heather Ross stash, and then a crazy baby quilt for me that will hopefully end up looking like the comics page in a newspaper. Or like a big mess. We'll see.
love all the blocks. The word blocks are simply awesome!
They are all wonderful! I think the word quilt will be fantastic!
Love the squares, they make me want to sew. And to me that is a compliment.
I love these blocks!
