 It's been sew great sewing with everyone this year and I just love this block that Molli picked for us. I was working from my scrap bins so got a little creative.

Stained Glass Block for Molli

 Hi Molli,

These blocks are already on the way to you. Unfortunately, I don't have any rainbow prints in my stash, so I hope these are okay for your quilt. 

It was fun to just go for it and put blocks together mostly from my scraps and see where that took me!

Enjoy stitching the top together,

Rita

Crashing in-Fabric for Diane

Hello from Hive 6!

Here is "fabric" for my friend and fellow South Florida Modern Quilt Guild quilter, Diane! I was sure hoping this block would make a dent in my stash, well...it did not😂 But it was sure fun to piece together! It's leaving in the mail this week!  Marie (crashing from Hive 6)

Hive 4 - November Tutorial - Fabric for Diane

Hello my Bee Friends, 

It's already November, which means this is our last month together. It was delightful for me to make blocks, to share in IG and on Zoom with all of you. This month we are going to do something different. Instead of making a traditional block, you are going to create fabric…not to worry, this is easy, almost no rules and very fun! 

Rule # 1 use solids only 

Rule #2  my background fabric is a very dark navy, so avoid the dark blues, the black/charcoal. 

Please create a 12.5" square of fabric that I will slash into “bolts”. These bolts will be used in a pattern by Libs Elliott called “Static Age Quilt”. 

Instructions: assemble together your left overs of solid fabrics in all colours in any manner you wish. The pieces should not exceed 3” in width to create the effect I am looking for. Some people call doing this “crumb quilting.” There are many sites on YouTube where you can find additional instructions. I find working in small sections is easier. Here are photos of me making one block.

If you have trouble assembling sections together, just send me parts that are not assembled. I will make it work.

Place a 12 1/2" square ruler under the pieced fabrics and when it covers the ruler, stop and leave the block as is.  Do not clean edges. Please leave it just as it is.

Voila...you are done!

This is how your fabric making will end up. Thank you for helping me. Having a wide variety of colours will be awesome and without knowing exactly which of the fabrics you created, I will remember that you all participated in making this fun and colourful quilt for me.

All the best and much thanks to you all! Diane

Hive 2 - November Tutorial- Not a Christmas Tree for Andrea

This month we'll be making a tree.  Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom has an excellent tutorial, so I'm just going to direct you over there.  The only change is the background color.  Instead of having all red backgrounds, I'd like any background of a rainbow color.  The final block is 12.5x12.5" square.

Greens for the tree: 8- 2.5x2.5" squares and 4- 3x3" squares.  Please make sure the fabric reads green.  If possible please use at least four different greens for the tree.  Please no batiks, but solids are fine.  

Brown for the trunk: 1- 3x3" square.  Please no batiks, but solids are fine.

Background - any happy rainbow color: 19- 2.5x2.5" squares and 5- 3x3" squares.  I'm doing a medium blue, but I also added a few other color examples.  You are welcome to use any rainbow color, not just the colors that I give examples of below.  If possible, please use at least 5 different fabrics (again no batiks) that read their given color.  Also if possible, try to stick with a specific color - i.e., light blues vs medium blue.  This last request isn't too important, but it will help make the trees stand out more. Again, please no batiks, but solids are fine.

The tutorial is here by Scattered thoughts of a Craft Mom.

And here's another block!  Again, this finishes 12.5x12.5"
