Hive #2 January

Hi everyone, my name is Rebeckah. My husband and I just moved to Riverside, CA from Anaheim, CA.

The hardest quilt  related thing I have done was my Wicked blocks. I would do it again, maybe LOL.

My fave Dessert food is ice cream, chocolate to be exact, but I like things in it, so Rocky Road is a great choice. Oh and Mint'n'Chip is my all time fave. 

I can not remember the last time I laughed so hard, though I know it was recently and with my family.

My day job is staying at home and being awesome! Haha JK, I sew at home. I just started my Etsy shop and have had 4 orders so far.

I learned to sew a long time ago. My mom taught me essentially and I took a few classes through out the years. I remember sewing yellow napkins onto my Barbie doll as dresses.

Life philosophy? I don't really have one....

Are you ready!

Ok everyone here is the tutorial for this month. It is my version of a borrow and lend. I just got the message today that it is my month bee the queen so I have not had time to actually sew the block, so you have a tutorial to follow.

All squares cut are 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"

1. Cut 24 squares of a brown/ neutral fabric.

2. Cut 24 white aquares (Kona).

3. Cut 4 squares of a tone on tone color, any color, I would prefer bright colors.

4. Make 16 HST with the brown and white squares.

5. Sew a HSQ on either side of a brown square. Make 8.

6. Sew a white suqare to either side of the color block. Make 4.

7. Sew together two of the step 5 pieces to the step 6 piece. Make 4

Do NOT sew all four together I would like to have the blocks separate so as to come up with a design for the quilt top.

Thanks and good luck!
