Well, there was no Plan A!
This, however, is the plan for my turn for the
Mid-Century Modern Bee...
a paper pieced AMH Feather!
I made one last year and loved how it looked!
I made one last year and loved how it looked!
And it has been on my 'to-do' list all year....
Once I had this colour palette in my mind....
but so few of the fabrics to make it with,
I decided to enlist the help of my bee buddies!
So sure I was of making this quilt, I had bought 3+
yards of background solid...
(but have no idea of its name/shade!)
It is somewhere between a grey and a beige.
I cut and sent a piece to all my ladies,
with two little parcels
taking less than four days
(Melbourne to California)
to get there!
So now I am asking for one feather,
foundation pieced to
save on fabric, using this tutorial!
In fact, Linda has already made one!
Thank you Linda- its perfect!
Here's one I made earlier.....
I am really loving being the Queen Bee of May!
Happy sewing!

I LOVE your fabric choices Susan - this will be beautiful!
Such a gorgeous palette of colours.
This will be terrific. I uploaded your King Fisher colors to our Flickr group--should have read this first!
It will be fun to make this for you.

I love your colour choices Susan, the finished quilt will look amazing.
Oh, so pretty! I remember when you made the first feather and was smitten! I'm so happy to be invited to make one for you.....LOVE the color selection, too...my kind of colors!
Your feather looks beautiful - I really love the aqua and orange combo! And thank you also posting the link back to Fiona's info on the foundation pieced feathers as I was looking for it the other day.
Those feathers are just so tempting. No time to give in at the moment, so I will enjoy yours. And live vicariously through your lovely fabric combinations.
Hope my fabric comes soon. This will be fun : )
I love this block! Your fabrics are great, can't wait to see how your quilt looks!
This is on my to do list too! It looks amazing! Great to ask the other bees to make some for you.
Oooh, beautiful. The colours are a great combo and that little birdy is so cute!
