You can follow our progress at the Busy Little Quilting Bee Flickr group.
These two blocks are the ones I've made for the October and November ladies. They sent the fabric and some general requests as to what they had in mind for the blocks. The first one is being made for a boy who loves all things Army so it will be all green and red.
The second was a great blend of orange and brown fabrics.
Finally, just want to share a recent fabric find from the local thrift shop.
Can you feel the love? I hope so because I'll be starting a book bundle giveaway tomorrow. Ever heard of Barefoot Books? I love these books because they combine art and story seamlessly. And, the pack I'm giving away is especially appropriate this time of year . . . One World, One Planet. 'Cause I'm all crunchy, granola-y, earth loverly like that.

i can definitely feel some LOOOVE for that fabric (all of them actually!) thrifting is the bomb.
I just joined a virtual quilting bee too! I'm so excited for the process throughout the year and look forward to all the quilts I'll see! Love your blocks!
I am practically dacing with anticipation to put my blocks all together!!!! I've loved them all and I love this one too! (And I love making the blocks!)I think this is my favorite game!
That alphabet fabric is beautiful! So jealous.
How fun! Your blocks look great. It's so fun making just one, and then watching it come together. . . exciting times! I was wondering if you'd a chance to do any quilting for yourself lately too :) Books - haven't heard of barefoot - I'll go check them out - and be back tomorrow :)
What a fun idea! Love the blocks!

I had a neighbor who spoke of those granola hippies and I would giggle inside because even though I dont look it I may be granola. Poor guy.
Cute fabric.
And I like the idea of the virtual quilting bee. I have done several for my guild but never had a turn for myself. But I like making the other's blocks.
I love that first block with the orange Amy Butler, and the other orange one. The idea of a virtual quilting bee is so cool! I tend to stay in my box when it comes to ideas, so to send out fabric and get 16 OTHER ideas of what can be done with it - WOW! I think it would be really cool and eclectic. Can't wait to see how your's turns out. I'm gonna have to get on over to that flickr group.
Dana, What a fun thing to do...love it!
I am looking forward to seeing all of the finished results!

I joined a few online quilting bee's and missed out on a lot of blocks in my swap.. but c'est la vie, not a biggie, but what I got back I loved and I LOVE your blocks!!!!

great idea some fabulous fabrics
I love the orange one specially, it looks like a "candy corn" kind of block, see http://crazymomquilts@blotspot.com she made a fabulous candycorn quilt.
I love the idea of make a virtual quilt, being so new to all of this is challenging enough, but to make blocks for someone else! Stressful I think.
oooh...my son loves barefoot books!
that last one is especially cute and different!
