Hello! Welcome 2026 Stash Bee!
My name is Laura from sunny Florida!
Yes, we still use quilts here…it often gets chilly in the winter! This morning it was a chilly 42 degrees!
This month we will be making what I’m calling COLOR BLOCKS . I m not sure who to give credit to for the pattern….I had saved several Pinterest pics that were very similar. This was really easy to figure out in the size I wanted and I think it’s going to make a very cool quilt.
This is a simple and fun block to create…so let’s go!
Preferred color scheme:
Plus black and white.
Choose prints of four bright colors and a black/white or white/black neutral. Any rainbow color will be fine. If you have a lot of scraps of one color, it’s okay to do two of the quarters in that color. Actually, if you want, make all four corners with the same color! I will make it all work!! This is all about using up your stash!!!
Quilt pieces are all cut the same size: 4.5” x 2.5”
Cut 6 of each color and 8 total of the black & white.
Sew together like this using a quarter inch seam:
I pressed open.
I pressed away from the center, but you do you!
Again, I pressed away from the center.
All is good though.
Repeat 3 more times.
AND THAT’S IT! I’m not sure as to my layout and color placement, so stop at this point and send. It’s going to be fun trying different layouts and color variations!!
The finished little block will be about 8.25 to 8.5” and when put together will equal about a 15-16” block. I’ll be trimming the blocks to the same size once the happy mail arrives in my mailbox!
PLEASE SEND THE 4 INDIVIDUAL CORNERS UNATTACHED! I cannot wait to play with all your beautiful blocks!!!
Thank you for being a part of Stash Bee 2026. I’m looking forward to all of your creative ideas this coming year.
Peace,
Laura
