Bee Blessed April Block!

Well folks!  It's almost a new month, so that means a new Bee Blessed BOM.

For April, we would love donations of this block:

Terri's Star Blocks 002
Starflower
Instead of the usual white background, we would like these blocks done in any solid colour of your choice, as long as it contrasts well with the scrappy star!  Please feel free to make the star in any colours you like!

There are 2 tutorials to choose from.  Ellison Lane Quilts has a great tutorial here for making 2 blocks (there is minimal effort in making 2 with this technique) or you can follow Modify Tradition's tutorial here and make one block.

As always we ask that the blocks are 12.5" finished, using a scant 1/4" seam.

A huge thank you to everyone for the fabulous Funky Wrench blocks for March!  They are awesome and are going to make the most wonderful Siblings Together quilt!

I've Been Tangoed!

There's a bit of an orange theme to my bee blocks this month!

In Hipbees, Rachel sent us some Liberty charms and either Kona Butterscotch or Jade background to make Puss in the Corner 2.  Guess which one I got!

Mmmm, aren't those Liberty prints divine!

Next up, Erin wanted colour themed starflower blocks from this tutorial, for her month in Modern Irish Bee.  We got to choose the colourway so we could add something from our stash, and I chose orange!

I really like the scrappy look of these stars, even though they involved more hsts!!

In Brit Bee this month, we have a reprieve!  But that doesn't mean I can rest on my fabric laurels! I have a few angel (star) blocks to make, and of course some Funky Wrench blocks for Bee Blessed, and then my March commitments are fulfilled!
