Beaquilter Sample Block Quilt Along, Blocks 1 and 2

Beaquilter is hosting a sampler block quilt sew along. Bea's button is on the side of my blog. She will post instructions for two 12.5" blocks each month. The instructions for the first two blocks are here.
I'm using some Stitch In Color fabric pieces to make these block. I want this to be a guy friendly quilt, no pink, purple or flower prints.

I won two patterns in Sarah's Hands2Help Charity Challenge 2013 quilt drawing. They arrived today. Lucky me! Next February, Sarah will be asking for participants to make and donate quilts for the H2H 2014 Charity Quilt Challenge.

2013 Rainbow Scrap Challenge, June, Yellow, Week 1

I'm playing with yellow scraps this month. Though I love the color yellow, I don't have a lot of yellow scraps or stash. So I used some fabrics scraps with something yellow in the print. For example, I used a yellow owl on a green background and a yellow alien on blue background. This week I made five 8.5" blocks, some 5" tumblers and some 2.5" squares to add to my collections.
I found some time to knit and knitted three dishcloths using Sugar'n Cream's Pinky Strips, Tie Dye Strips and Green Dream.
