Hive 5 July Tutorial for Laura

 Hello Bee-mates!

I am so excited to return to Stash Bee in 2024!  I believe I participated in Stash Bee for 7 years….first as a hive mate, then as a Hive Mama, then assisted Alana when Diana stepped down in 2019. 

I needed a break as well and have been gone for a few years.  But it’s so good to be back and creating again!

I have made some beautiful quilts with the help of all my hive-mates!  I’m sure this one will be amazing as well.  I’m keeping it pretty simple…I saw a similar block and sketched it in my idea book so I created this tutorial-I’m calling it a Split-Six block and it’s super quick and easy!



It finishes at 12” but just send me the 4 corners loose
as I’m not quite sure on my design plans.

My color inspiration- rich pinks, oranges and yellows - also white or low volume:

 -.

My fabric pull:



Simply choose 4 fabrics and cut each into a 6” square:

.
.
Then cut each square in half so you have (2) 3” pieces.

'..

Next cut (4) 1 x 6” strips of white and/or low volume.

.

Add strip to one side of the split square, pressing away from the white strip.

. .

Then attach the other side, pressing again away from the white.
Repeat 3 more times.


And you’re done!  Send the 4 corners to me as is and I
guarantee I’m going to have a blast creating the design!

Please let me know if you have any questions!
