Every bee I've ever been in has had me making string blocks! They really are a great project choice for a bee as many hands really do make light work and its a great way to get lots of variety in your quilt. Plus they are great scrap busters!
Last month, Martina asked us, in
Stash Bee hive #3, for happy bright colours and I chose as many Me and My Sister prints as I had on hand to include in these. Somehow on the day I must have been feeling a green vibe!
This month
Debbie picked a block I'd never made before.
It's a traditional block called Winged Square with a fussy cut centre surrounded by Half Square Triangles. This was really fun to make!
The idea is to pick a centre piece and choose 2 colours that speak to you from the image. The bit I liked about the fabric I had chosen was the hummingbird and the pink flower so I chose and aqua colour with hot pink!
Not colours I'd normally use together but I do like them a lot!
Hoping to continue this trend of getting Bee blocks done earlier in the month!

I really like the pink and aqua together, too which is something I wouldn't have put together on my own!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful block! I really like the fabric you selected for the center and your supporting prints are lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks Ruth! I love the fabrics.Very pretty and bright.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking blocks! I really like how your HST fabric picks up and highlights the fussy cut center so well.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty fabrics and I just love the blocks - especially the HSTs with the fussy cut center!
ReplyDeleteSew very pretty! Love the colors ;)
ReplyDeleteI like that humming bird fabric. so pretty. good colour choice too!
ReplyDeleteAll great blocks but I adore the winged blocks. I was inspired by them before but yours are really soft and pretty. I want some of my very own! nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love both blocks! Such pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteYour winged square block is lovely, what a great idea for a Bee block too.
ReplyDeleteAll of your hive's winged square blocks have been really pretty.
ReplyDeleteOhh I really love the wing square blocks - so much potential for colour fun :)
ReplyDeleteThe winged square is new to me too - yours is very pretty. I like the colour scheme - a little unexpected but very successful.
