April Bee Blocks

Finished up all my April bee blocks. I'm in both #2 and #3 hives so I waited til both were done to post them.  First is for Stephanie for hive #2. I love all the houses that have been made so far and can't wait to see her finished quilt!  I chose to do a barn with a quilt block on it.   I would LOVE to own a huge red barn! I would put the same star quilt block on it if it was mine. :)  There is one here in my town (without a block on it) that I drive by every day on the way to take care of our horses.  That is what inspired me.



I sketched it out and made it into a paper pieced pattern.  The star turned out at 2 1/2".  I love how it turned out!  I hope you like it Stephanie!!

Second is for Beth for hive #3. These were very simple and a lot of fun to make.  And a first for me.  I have never made chevrons before!  Definitely on my to_do list!! The fabric I used in these are: Summer House by Lily Ashbury for Moda paired with a vintage print from my stash.


Fabrics used in these are: Rodeo by Debbie Mumm for South Sea Imports paired with some Sunkissed by Sweetwater for Moda.


I can't wait to see what is in store for May!

    I love the barn, too! I'm still intimidated by paper piecing. I've never tried it except for string blocks and a mock-courthouse steps block from the 99 modern blocks book. Both were for a bee and were straight lines, so they weren't anything tough.
