Rossie calls this her "Kelp" quilt. I never thought about the shape resembling kelp plants. You can see her design plan here. I love the innovative use of this shape and her hand dyed fabrics have such depth. They are truly a wonder. I also love that she asked for a 9" x 65" block. Now that's a block size I don't do every day!
This is my final block for round 2 of Common Threads. Sarah asked for a dimensional block. I think this was the most challenging block I've ever had in a bee. When I heard dimensional, I thought of those folding paper fans I used to make as a kid. I'm pretty happy with the shapes in this one.
A quick word to my Common Threads buddies. You all have given me such wonderful bee experiences. Your creativity inspires me and I so appreciate the opportunities you have given me to challenge myself and grow. You're the best!

That dimensional block is stunning Jacquie!
One word for that block...WOW! I can't imagine what the entire quilt will look like. So very interesting.
I love both those blocks! How fun! (for you and for them!)
That is gorgeous, and I also can't wait to see the whole quilt. It will be really interesting to see how it is quilted.
Such a unique block, very pretty.
Both of these are fantastic! I'm just about to start cutting into Rossie's beautiful fabric myself.
Wow, I love your dimensional block. I'm curious now to see what the other bee members are making. What a unique quilt idea.
What an amazing idea, that block is truly inspirational.
I love seeing these bee quilts come together.
Wow! Both of those blocks are pretty spectacular!
What a great block, how would you quilt it? Go around? Or quilt right over it?
