Starry Cabin Bee Blocks for Tracy Hive 3

Good Morning Friends!

I’m so excited to be Queen Bee this month!

We are going to be making the Starry Cabin Bee Block from Mary @mary.stitches and my color palette is grass green and bright pink.

Color Inspiration: 

To find this free pattern you are going to head to Mary’s Instagram page, follow her link to her Etsy page, scroll down to “Announcements”, open the link to her free patterns and then download the block called, “Starry Cabin Bee Block”.  I’m including some screenshots to help find it, as it took me a few minutes of hunting around the first time I downloaded one of her freebies.

Great! Hopefully you don’t have any trouble finding the patterns.  I love her scrappy patterns and have already completed a quilt using the Starry Heart.  I’ll share it at the end.

Let’s get started!!

As I said, I’m requesting grassy greens and bright pinks - my obsession with this color combo started sometime in the 80s and has held tight. :). 

For the star points please use white - it can be solid, white on white or tiny prints on white as long as from a distance it reads white.  You can see in my first sample that I used a white with tiny strawberries on it.  

Block should be 12.5” unfinished

12” finished

Ta-da!

And here is another example…

Being a child in the 80s, I loved Strawberry Shortcake.

I found a piece of vintage fabric a few years ago, so I like to include her in my quilts when it is appropriate. :)

The center square of fabric can be either green or pink - just have it match the top color.

* And it does not need to be a fussy cut piece of fabric, although that is always fun. ;)

And as promised, here is a quilt I finished with one of her other patterns:

Thank you for making blocks for me!  I hope you have fun!
