February 2018 Bee Block Round-up



The February  Stash Bee block was chosen by this month’s queen Tracy (@tracysbitsnpieces). She picked the Vintage TV block by Lori Holt. She asked for a novelty fabric for the screen and two different fabrics for the TV and accents on a light background fabric. I have a limited stash of novelty fabrics so it was out with the Dr Suess fabric again for this block. After seeing everyone else’s TV screens I’m wondering if I should add at least one more to my stash…


This month’s colour in the 2018 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Jen over at Patterns by Jen is blue. I’m keeping up with my scrappy 16 patch blocks so far. I’ll be linking up for the end of month check in.


Anne from Brown Paws Quilting (@brownpawsquilting on Instagram) is this month’s queen in Bee Inspired. She asked us to make scrappy strips and then slash a white background square at least twice and insert our scrap strips. I decided on an X. It was tricky trying to get the arms to match up after the second cut. Her tutorial is here. Finished size is 12 inches.

Happy sewing

Sue

    Novelty prints is not something I have a lot of either, but I think Dr. Seuss is a good pick :) I love that some of the fabric showed up in your color challenge block.

    I don't think I have any novelty prints Sue, I would have to go out and buy one specially. Your tv block is lovely as is your X block. It must be lovely to be all up to date, I remember that, vaguely.............

    These blocks are so much fun, especially, the TV with the novelty prints. Love seeing the variations on the color challenge.
