Here's what I've been working on....
For my quilting bee, the KC Scrappy Bee, this month Andrea asked for blocks to be made into pluses and minuses. Here's a link to a quilt similar to what she was asking for. I saw on this quilt that they threw in some equals signs here and there and that got me to thinking...
So I very carefully cut into the fabric she gave me. I pulled aside enough to make seven 1 inch hexagons out of her focus fabric (the polka dotted fabric). Then I made two blocks for her. One is a plus sign. I used some pieces of polka dotted fabric from my charm pack stash to go with it. I added a border to make it 12 1/2 inches, too. Here's a picture of that one:
And since I was planning on making a division sign, I thought I'd better make a multiplication sign, too... I used this asterisk tutorial to get an x... I just didn't keep chopping and re-sewing... And I added a border to give it a little more color. Here's that one:
Technically, we're only required to make one block, but several people made me two blocks and I was so excited to get extras so I thought I'd pass on the love. This fabric was really fun and I'm anxious to see what everybody else comes up with. So glad to be part of such a great and talented group!
