Lauralei, this month's "queen bee", wanted a fussy cut of a beast in the center. The colors could be brown, gray, cream, and muted mustard. I didn't have much hope for it, but I actually found an animal print! Now let's hope Lauralei likes the elephant. This is my first fussy cut. I was a bit nervous about it. Turns out that it's pretty easy.
The book we're using,
Modern Blocks by Susanne Woods, has this as one of the modern blocks. There are lots of modern blocks in the book, but this is definitely an old favorite. Perhaps the fussy cut in the center makes it modern.
One monthly sew-along/virtual bee down, three more to go.
That's a great block - the colour scheme she chose sounds rather boring, but that block is pretty! You did a lovely job fussy-cutting Mr. Elephant - I have a hard time fussy-cutting as it can be very wasteful, which makes me crazy, lol!
