This month’s queen in
Stash Bee Greta (@snippetycamel) asked for a maple leaf block of our choice in
green. She suggested a couple of tutorials but not being one to leave well
enough alone I thought I’d have a look on Pinterest first… 3 hours later I
surfaced with a decision, ending up with a paper pieced block I made up for
myself based on this barn quilt. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out and I’m
thinking about maybe making more.
For Bee Inspired Queen Jennifer from TheInquiring Quilter designed
a block and wrote us a tutorial based on the Irish chain quilt that she’s had in
mind for a while. She requested graduating shades of green (the fabric pull was
simple this month!) going lighter from the centre out on a white low volume
background.
It’s my turn to be
Queen in Stash Bee next month and I’m pretty excited! I have picked my block,
written the tutorial and it’s scheduled and ready to go for the 1st!
‘til next time
Ooroo

So much fun to see the variety of blocks bees choose!
ReplyDeleteI love the leaf block, especially the way you shaded it with your fabric choices, and the Bee Inspired block is great too, I can't wait to see the finished quilt. I'm looking forward to your tutorial and seeing what you have come up with.
ReplyDeleteI love both these blocks and fun that they both are in green. Looking forward to seeing yours next month.
ReplyDeleteThe theme of the month was definitely green! I look forward to seeing what block you choose soon. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSo handy that both your block requests were for green! They look great! I'm so glad you are ready ahead of time for your turn at queen. Could I ask a big favor and ask you to send me the instructions now? We are probably going to be moving into our new house in August and I would like to get a head start on my August stuff since I know I'm going to be short of time that month. Hope that's ok!
Lovely blocks this month, especially the one for me! Can't wait to see the block you've got in mind for us! Thanks for linking up to Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm super curious to see what your block is going to me! Both of these blocks are wonderful...I know the feeling of being on pinterest for hours before making a decision!!
ReplyDeleteBoth blocks look great! Can't wait for your block next month. I took a sneak peek at the tutorial and it's a fun one!
ReplyDeleteGreen was the color for the month it looks like :) Both blocks are beautiful. Pinterest really has a way of making one lose track of time.
