This happy scrappy yellow one is for a special quilt for beebolt.
In our fabulous bag of swag from the Sewing Summit, the kind folks at beebolt slipped in a little ziplock bag of 3" sunny fabric squares and asked us to use it and make an 8.5" block.
The blocks will all come together to make a special Sewing Summit quilt that will be on display next year. How cool is that?
We could add any fabric we wanted, do any design we wanted and use the fabric we were given in any way. You know I am in love with improv piecing these days so it wasn't hard for me to go that route. I added the solid yellow because it makes the block feel warm and happy- something the Sewing Summit was for sure.
So it is soon to be mailed off to beebolt (an online fabric shop) where it will meet it's other friends from the Sewing Summit attendees. Won't this be an amazingly diverse quilt in the end?!
Today I'm happy to send you over to the wonderfully talented Elizabeth of Don't Call Me Betsy. She's got a sleek and modern tote bag tutorial for you- perfect for a Christmas gift. It would be a great gift on its own but think of all the extra goodies you could hide in there before you wrapped it. :) Fun!
Be sure to leave Elizabeth a comment to be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop and if you missed any of the other tutorials from the 12 Gifts of Christmas blog hop, CLICK HERE.

That was such a great idea for a Christmas gift from Elizabeth. I loved that she added the touch of patchwork to the handles. Hmmmm, this one has stirred my creative juices. :)
I love all these ideas!! now I need to start sewing for gifts!
Your Beebolt block looks wonderful! The yellow is a great addition; it's so cheery! I haven't started mine yet, but I hope to get it made next week.
Your beeblock is very cute.
I ended up following her as well because I like some of her other tutorials as well! Thanks for the share and the giveaway opportunity.
Very happy block, just right for a friday!
Your beebolt block turned out great! I was just working on mine this morning, but haven't finished yet. That is going to be some quilt in the end!
I love Elizabeth's tote!
We have a program here, Mastermind, where the quiz master always says 'I've started, so I'll finish' if he's in the middle of asking a question when the alotted time period for the round is up. I haven't been embracing that much recently either - oops!
Love that block it would be amazing to see them all put together :o)
I love your beebolt block! Do you know what the yellow is? It's that perfect vibrant but not too vibrant shade.
