November Hipbee

November is my month in the fabulous Hipbees and I have decided to go for Lynnes Lynnebobsquarepants block

I love this block, but knew it would take me forever to make a lot of blocks.  Here's one I made today


 I figured I needed to make one, before I ask others to make some for me!  I will need 16 blocks in total, with the 4 central blocks having various purple backgrounds, like this one, as well as each corner


The coloured fabric is Power Pop by Jenanne Morrison.  I have 10 FQ's that have been waiting for the right moment, and this is it.

I'm really pleased with how it's turned out
The other blocks will have charcoal as their background

  7. The fabrics looks great and I'm very interested in how this will all come together. The block makes me nervous and excited in equal portion, but I'll put my big girl pants on and give it a go just for you, my lovely!
