Around the Block blocks for April

And hurray I'm caught up with Around the Block again!  I had a lot of trouble with this months blocks, but mostly because of my own deficiencies.  The first blocks were for Susie.  She is making a space quilt for her little boy.


This robot gave me so much trouble!  I was hoping for something like this, but my proportions are all wrong, AND I ran out of fabric so the block is a little bit small.  Whoops!


Next up we have this wonky star.  Unfortunately, not the best pattern for these fabrics.  They're too wild and crazy, and you can barely see the star. It is a very dynamic block though, so hopefully it will be used!

Then we have blocks for Rachel.  She sent us some blue red and brown fabrics to make blocks to split between her two boys.


This block was fun, and I love how the red dots are skewed so it makes the block crazy.  HOWEVER, I was having trouble with my sewing machine, so the edges are a tiny bit ruffly.  Not sure why.  It's not too bad though, and it should go away once its sewn together with other blocks.


I had so much trouble with this one!  I cut the fabric too short, machine ate up some parts, who knows what was going on. Ah shoot.  I just remembered that I might have forgotten to sew a seam shut too.  I'll have to make sure Rachel knows, sorry!  I think it turned out ok though.  I hope her boys like it!

Now I'm just waiting for my last pack of fabric from Bee Inspired.  I can't believe that quilting bee is almost over!
