Hive #1 July Block

This is my first time writing a tutorial, so if you have any questions please email me at kbreese@gmail.com.

I would like everyone to make a “Stained” quilt block.

You can choose any of the blocks from the quilt-a-long Narcoleptic In A Cupboard.

Or you can follow the tutorial I made below of block 4.

Or you can make up your own version.

For the large blocks you can use bright colors (think pink, purple, orange, green, blue, etc.)

If you do not have bright colors, just make sure you colors will look good with the bright ones!

For the borders I request that you use Kona Medium gray.

I see that they have it in stock here:(Fat Quarter Shop). 

If you know of another place that has it, leave a comment below to let us know.

Because this block uses so little of the gray, I can send you some if you would like.

Just email me and I will get it in the mail.

This block will end up being 11” x 12”.

Ok, take your bright colored fabrics and cut from them: 

1 – 4.5” x 4.5”

1 – 7” x 4”

1 – 11” x 1.5”

1 – 4.5” x 2.5”

1 – 5” x 4.5”

2 – 2.5” x 2.5”

1 – 4” x 2.5”

Take your Grey and cut from it”

1 – 1” x 11”

1 – 1” x 4.5”

1 – 1” x 9.5”

1 – 1” x 7”

1 – 1” x 6.5”

1 – 1” x 2.5”

You can lay them out according to the tutorial.

But as you sew them together you can move pieces around as you work.

If you have any questions, please email me!
