Molli, your blocks are in the mail. They were super fun to make. This was a great block pattern to end on for 2023.
One is larger, but you said you would trim them down to size.
Enjoy putting your quilt together.

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.
As always, I can't wait to see the finished project!
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)
Hi Molli,
Hope you like my contribution to your rainbow quilt! I can’t wait to see how it turns out :)
Happy Sewing,
Nicole B.
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.
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.
Have you ever seen a fabric and thought… WOW! That would really make an awesome quilt! Well I have…. and it all started with this fabric:
It is just so interesting to me. It has deep and light greens, royal and light blues, and brown (with a lot of light background)
So I welcome you to help me turn this fabric into a flimsy! Let’s call it Plaid With Me 🙂
Your Finished block will look like this and will be 11” :
For this block you will need:
Royal Blues (This is what I had in my Stash)
Light Blue
Dark Green
Light Green
Chocolate Brown
Whites or Low Volumes
Cutting
Each completed block will consist of:
White/ Low Volume:
5 squares - 3” x 3”
Dark Blue
2 squares - 3” x 3”
Dark Green
2 squares - 3” x 3”
Light Blue
2 rectangles - 2” x 3”
2 rectangles - 2” x 4 ½”
Light Green
2 rectangles - 2” x 3”
2 rectangles - 2” x 4 ½”
Brown
4 rectangles - 2” x 3”
Start with a Dark Blue 3” squares and a Light Blue 2”x 3” strips. Add one strip to the side of the square.
Then take a Dark Green 3” squares and a Light Green 2”x 3” strips. Add one strip to the side of the square.
Next add the 2” x 4 ½” Light Green rectangles to the green and the 2” x 4 ½” Light blue rectangles to the blue
You should end up with 2 Blue and 2 Green Squares
Sew a Low Volume/White 3” squares and a Brown 2”x 3” strips.
Add one strip to the side of the square.
Do this to 4 of the Low Volume/White 3” squares
Layout your pieces. A Low Volume/White 3” square for the center. The Low Volume/White/Brown pieces forming a plus sign with the browns facing outward.
The blue and Green squares in the corners with darker color towards the center alternating colors in the corners.
Sew together into rows
And now my humble thank you for joining me on this block journey!
