June block for Hive 4 Block is the Great Granny Block, from the wonderful Lori Holt over at the Bee in My Bonnet blog!
It is a larger version of the granny block from Jolene at Blue Elephant Stitches.
It is an easy block to put together.
It is a 12.5 inch block and I would love to
have TWO from each of you if possible! It is a
perfect block to use up jellyrolls and other precuts, as the squares are all
2.5 inches! (all except the background rectangles of Kona Butter)
There is a wonderful tutorial for it at Lori Holt’s blog-Bee in
My Bonnet.
I would like the background to be Kona Butter, as previously
mentioned. For the palette, I have chosen a picture below for you to pick your
fabric from. I love these colors,
especially the oranges and corals. If
you choose to use the warm plum
please use it sparingly
as I would like it to be an accent rather than a focal color!
Also ignore the light-lights in the the palette-those will be the Kona
Butter!
I
love bright colors and rich,
saturated colors, tone on tones, polka dots florals, plaids, text fabrics,
checks, stripes, mottled fabrics, a few solids mixed in-they are all good! I do not really like Civil War or 30’s
fabrics. Otherwise anything goes!
