Hive 2 April Tutorial - Antique Tile Block

This is my fourth time with StashBee....not all of them consecutive.

This time around I would like to get Antique Tile blocks.  The pattern I use is this one:

https://www.quilterscache.com/A/AntiqueTileBlock.html

My color scheme will be yellow, and two shades of a color of your choice.

The block is a variation of a nine patch so the piecing is really pretty straightforward.

The yellow is the Color 3 if you are following the Quilters Cache pattern.  The darker color is Color 1 and the medium (lighter version of darker color) is Color 2.

This is what the cut pieces will look like:

These are the sizes and number of pieces you will need:

Here is an exploded view of the pieces, you can see how it is looking like a nine patch.

Here are an assortment of yellows that I pulled to use....feel free to use any shade of yellow, as long as it reads as yellow.

To start piecing sew the small squares together, then sew the rectangles together.

Then sew the rectangles to the two patch units to create the corners.

Sew the rows together....

Sew the tows together and you have a completed block

Feel free to use any two colors except black, gray and brown.  I might be using those as sashing and borders.  Please don't use solids.

If you use a directional fabric please have the design go in the same direction throughout the block.

Also, do not press your seams open.

I think I covered everything, but if you have questions let me know.

I can't wait to see your blocks.

2020 Hive 2 Quilt Top

Last month I finally finished piecing together my Stash Bee 2020 quilt that the members in Hive 2 helped me with. I love how it turned out and can't wait to finish it on the longarm, but it needs to go into the pile after a few client quilts. Luckily, this is going to be a Christmas gift for my nephew so I'm not in a rush.

Hive Crashing Hive 6

Incoming crash from Hive 1! I am a new quilter and still building up a stash, but red is probably the color I have the most of, so I went ahead and made a block for Jan's scrappy red quilt. I left it unassembled so it could be mixed in with other blocks, as there are definitely repeats. I also lost track when I was counting, so there's one extra row in there! Hopefully it helps to complete another block. :)

Happy Worldwide Quilting Day

I hope you are all finding time to get some sewing done on this Worldwide Quilting Day.  I just made a few star blocks that our guild is collecting for the 2021 Quilts of Valor block drive.

I wanted to share a few quilt finishes from Stash Bee blocks from other years.  I've finally had them quilted by a fellow guild member.  The first is the quilt I made from blocks made for me by Hive 1 in February 2020.  I think I previously posted a picture of the flimsy, but here is the completed quilt.  It is intended for Project Linus.

This quilt is from September 2018 Hive 1.  It's been sitting around for a while, but now finally quilted.  I love the green and blue combination.  Thanks to everyone who participated in helping me assemble blocks for these quilts.

My blocks are in the mail. Hopefully they make it across the sea safely!

Hive Crash from Nina in Hive 6
