Keeping with the tradition for me to share my top five blog posts of the year and link them up to Cheryl's Best of... blog post, here they are. While my monthly linkup was a little inconsistent, look for more details for a revamp to the linkup in an upcoming newsletter. And thank you to everyone who participated in the Show Me Something linkup in 2021! Sunset All About Angles is one of my favorite finishes. I love the colors and the quilting and it's a really fun example of my All About Angles workshop which I love to teach.

Loide requested improv Christmas blocks for November in our Bee. She told us that anything goes for Christmas and our blocks could be traditional Christmas colors or something else.

After pondering about what I would make I started with a candle block, approximately 13" x 16".

Some others in the group had made some Christmas trees, so I pivoted and made a wreath, approximately 12" x 12". As I was working I decided that it would be a chunky square wreath, though I included extra background fabric for Loide so she could add some corner triangles to soften it up if she'd like.

Lastly, I chose a candy cane... it's some precisely pieced improv, but it was still built improvisationally. I sewed together red and white strips, then cut at an angle and pieced multiple pieces to make the length of the candy cane, approximately 10" x 13".
