December's block was for Stephanie. She sent two fabrics, the solid white and solid red. She requested crosses with the white background and said we could add other red prints if we wanted. Her inspiration was the quilt from the Tokyo International Quilt Festival. I'm not even sure how this came together. I just started making some crosses and then sewed them together. I'd love to make a larger version of this for my own wall!
Today I hung out with my friend Stephanie. We got to talking about these blocks and made me think about starting another Virtual Quilting Bee. If there's enough interest (at least 12 people), I'll put a group together. It requires a commitment of making at least 1 block a month, depending on the number of people in the group. Each person "has" a month, in which they sent out fabric of their choice and a block is made for them by the others in the group. So, if you're interested, just leave a comment saying so. If there's enough people, I'll send out an e-mail and get a group started!

I have been thinking that this would be a lot of fun to try! I would be game.
I really love those two blocks for the quilting bee. I joined a bee over at Little Blue Cottage, and I have a few ideas for my quilt, but they are pretty different :-) I'd love to join your bee too, but I don't think finances would allow it. So I will watch from the outside :-)
I've never done a virtual quilting bee, but I'd love to give it a try!
I'd love to participate! Good idea!
Katie - you blocks are so lovely!!
I would love to take part in your virtual quilting bee : )
I would love to be in a quilting bee. Love, love, love it! I've done 7 or 8 swaps in the past, but I need a break from swaps. :)
Oh, and by the way, I love your blog.
Great job on the blocks. I do like those crosses in the red and it would make a great large quilt.
Wish I could participate in your BOM, but it is just not the right time now. Maybe the next one.
Yes, I'd definitely be up for the quilting bee - as I'm sure my sister, Kathy would be.

Your blocks are gorgeous!
Like Philigry, I am already participating in another quilting bee, but if you are short, count me in!
It look like you have enough, but if not, I would love to join in with you guys.
I love your blog and would love to swap with you, but I think (unfortunately) that my plate's a little too full right now. Maybe (hopefully?) our paths will cross in a future group ... ! : )
