Stash Bee: February 2015 Block

Hi Everyone!

My name is Bonnie, and I live in Newfoundland, Canada, with my husband Dave and my dog Lacey. I also have a 21 year old daughter, Rebecca, who is away at university, so she only lives with us part time!

This is my second year with Stash Bee. Last year I was terrified of ruining a quilt block, but I did relax as the year went on, and I loved my experience, so much so I am back again this year! I have put my blocks together from last year, but have not yet finished the quilt. I love the way the blocks came together to form secondary patterns!

My "getting to know you" question is: Why did you choose to join Stash Bee this year? I am typically not a joiner, but I did want to meet people and make friends in the quilting community. I have learned so much from everyone that I have encountered, and have "met" many awesome people. I think we all will agree that quilters are amazing people who are all willing to share what they have and what they know! I also love to see the different fabrics that everyone uses, so many beautiful fabrics out there!

My block for February is the ``Intersection Block`` from Film in the Fridge. Here is the link to the tutorial: http://filminthefridge.com/2014/11/19/intersection-block-a-tutorial/

This is a 11.5 inch block, and I would like the blocks to be pink, with teal or turquoise, and the first ring would be white (plain white, low volume white or tone-on-tone white). You can use the pink and teal in either place. Also on the first page of the tutorial there are a variety of measurements that you can use, I am okay with any variation. I tried a number of them, and I think the blocks will all go together nicely! This is a very easy block, I was able to make 3 in a couple of hours, including the cutting and pressing.

Here are my attempts:
