Most of the first quarter went as “planned”.
free bee block pattern “Wonky Chevrons”I started 2021 with the publishing of a (free) bee block pattern called Wonky Chevrons. I came up with the idea for this block when Christina @minerva_huhn asked me to contribute a design for newbie BEE germany. She publishes in general a new bee block once a month plus an additional designer block. Wonky Chevrons came to be because of this “blog hop”. Here are the links to the blog post and the pattern.
the finished “Charm Scrappy”And I finally finished the Charm Scrappy quilt. Though this is my one and only finish this quarter. But I also released the (free) pattern which you can find here.
Another collaboration was with Friederike @piecestopatch for a String Quilt template. You can find my part aka the pdf file and the link to her blog post here.
new scrap project “Quilty Stars”And during all that I also started to use up #mellmeyer_bluescraps as a quilting the countdown project. I started with a heart quilt made out of blue scrap slabs but as I needed to wait for background fabric, I switched to a new project “Quilty Stars”. A quilt I long desired to make :)
working on a new layout for “Four Patch”Then I published a guest post on the German blog “Augensterns Welt” by Annette @augenstern_hd. The topic is “Let’s Finish Old Stuff” where every month guests talk about their UFOs. You can find the blog post here. While writing this post, I managed a lot of progress on my oldest project “Four Patch”.
Though the progress on the WIPs was not as impressive as hoped for, I am still happy! Let’s call it the teamwork quarter :)

Charm Scraps is a lovey finish. I really like the Blue scrappy Stars. Wishing you good luck on your new pattern. I could not join the pattern testers this time. I am sure you will receive great feedback and and some lovely quilt tops for your IG launch.
