More Bee Blocks and The Ugliest Thing

While it is technically April today, I did finish these blocks on Saturday night which means I did actually finish them in March on time. ;)


SBJ - March
Oh hey..you can see my poor, dancer's toes. This is what growing up in toe shoes does, dear readers. 

I finally caved and made a Granny Square (two if you count my practice block). I'm a slight bit addicted. 

I'm actually really proud 'cause I was able to not mess up the math to scale that block up to 12.5"
I'm sure you've noticed that the outside squares aren't trimmed down. After I managed to cut a seam *and* a hole trimming down my practice block I thought my luck shouldn't be tested. 
Now that I think about it, I really don't know what was up with that. Bet I need a new blade. 

The other block I was going to make was a London Square but I found myself 6" short on fabric. So instead I used Jenna's awesome tutorial for a Diamond Peek-a-Boo block

It was a great block to put together. I was worried about the triangles but since they started as squares, we got along just fine. 


Ugly Swoon

I'm sure you remember this atrocity  block. 
Katy @ I'm a ginger monkey has been hosting the fabulous Swoon Along. With that came an Ugly Swoon contest. 

And I won. 

I've never been so proud to make something so terrible to look at. 

Some Pezzy Love is now on it's way to me. 

So. Excited.
