As I am not up to quilting my queen sized flower power on my small Pfaff, I have been getting on with piecing bee blocks. I am totally in love with this block chosen for us by Kate in Hive 4 of Stash Bee.
The red and white combo is just classic! The tutorial for this one is over at
Anyone Can Quilt. I'm thinking about this for the centre of a Round robin quilt starting this month with Modern Quilters Ireland!
I managed to finish off the last of Modern Irish Bee 2015 blocks too so all caught up with that one! Suzanne sent us the Green and Gold fabric and told us to make anything we wanted with it so I made Christmas presents for her festive themed quilt.
The blocks are from the free pattern by Kate Spain, called Flurry and can be found here on the
Moda website. I checked with Fiona @
Celtic thistle Stitches and Christmas bee blocks are ok to link up with Ho Ho Ho and On We Sew which is being hosted on her blog this month. If you are trying to get ahead with Christmas makes or making up for a forgotten present from last year head on over to
Fiona's where she has a collection of free tutorials with a Christmas theme!
Finally I have a block of the month club finish to share. This is a block from
Whipstich's Murder Mystery Blocks of the month. This one is great fun! You subscribe and every month you get a chapter of a story giving you clues to a murder mystery. You also get a block to make and extra clues if you make your block on time. You get one chance to guess Whodunnit and be in with the chance of winning a prize at the end of the year.
If you are interested head on over to
Whipstich. I'm really loving this one!
Happy weekend everybody!
The red and white block is absolutely gorgeous!! And yes, it would be perfect for the center of a medallion quilt. The gift box blocks are so cute! And good luck with your murder mystery! That first block looks great :)
ReplyDeleteThe Hive 4 block is really stunning, nicely done. And the murder mystery quilt is totally fascinating. I'm going to enjoy hearing more about that as it progresses this year. :)
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are all so beautiful! I have to agree.... That red and white design is outstanding! And the presents are cute. Look like fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great red and white block. I may have to check out that tutorial.

I love that red and white block! That red is beautiful!! Looking forward to next mystery block! Very interesting look :)
ReplyDeleteThat block was in last year's Stash Bee too and I thought it looked amazing then. It still looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are beautiful - especially the Christmas presents!
ReplyDeleteHey, Ruth, thanks for linking up. :) That really is a fantastic star block for the bee. That murder mystery sounds super fun. Right up my alley. :D
