Quilts Unscripted Bee Blocks

Quilts Unscripted Bee continues to inspire me! In September, Carole challenged us to make blocks that represent Time in a  prescribed color palette. Songs about time kept coming to me, including my favorite song of all time, James Taylor's Secret of life....

One part of the song says "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time... any fool can do it. there ain't nothing to it. nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill. But, since we're on our way down, might as well enjoy the ride". It always makes me think of a roller coaster! That's what I was going for here.

Block two was time "slippin' slippin' slippin' into the future...

And yes, I do know block three looks like olives! hahaha so it goes with improv.... it's an hourglass with sand keeping track of time. Hey, I tried!

Chris had September and asked us for black blocks with bright lines that intersect.... or don't. Basic geometry. I loved it! I know Chris is a rainbow fan so block one was a rainbow....
blue and green lines for block 2....
and a rainbow ladder for block 3,

 I'm really enjoying this bee! If you want to follow our shenanigans, check out our hashtag on instagram, #quiltsunscripted.

Great interpretation with all blocks..
I guessed an hourglass as soon as I saw your block, not olives…
