Let's Bee Social # 125
Welcome to the Let's Bee Social!
First off..... I would like to THANK YOU for all the words of kindness shared in the comments from my Instagram post. It is quite clear to me that I have some pretty amazing friends out there - in this great big global world of the online quilting community - of which I am so proud to be a part of. Thank you!
This happened day before yesterday.....
Baby Raccoons were born! So fun and so tiny! These are half sized blocks that finish at 5" wide by 4" tall. I made them into a mini wall quilt to match the big quilt.
No. These are not paper pieced. A little challenging, but doable.
You ever get that feeling.....
My only regret with this project is that I wish there was more contrast between the black part of the eyes and the black part of the mask on these cuties. You can see on the orange block that the eyes consist of a white square and a black square to give the appearance that the raccoons are all looking to the right. But on the black and grey blocks, from a distance, it just looks like an offset white square.
COMPLETE!
Hoping to get some outside photos today for my post on Friday when I will share all the details.
Meanwhile the Raccoon pattern has been added to my shop.
