Finally, though, I had to choose a design last week. I originally had grandiose plans of designing blocks and distributing instructions, but life happened and I had zero time for that. So I started researching (via Pinterest, a very academic resource) some of my favorite quilt blocks.
Turns out, to no one's surprise, that I really like half-square triangles. And it also turns out that there was already a half-square triangle block of the month online...for free. Enter Jeni B.'s tutorial!

I've instructed our bee to make two blocks for two different quilts. You guys know me by now: I love a quick baby quilt because that's about all the attention span I have. Each bee member will send me a block of her choice in black, white, and/or gray, and a block of her choice in cool colors like purple or blue. Then I can make two quilts for our charity!
I have to decide what fabrics I want to use for the blocks I have to make!
I still have some Constellations left from my FQ bundle I purchased in December. I might use some of that:
This is Constellations' Twinkle Twinkle in black |
I also have a nice gray from Jay McCarroll's Center City collection:
The print is Boston in Midtown |
For my second block, I remembered that I have a bunch of Cuzco from Kate Spain that I've never touched!
Citadel print in Indigo |
This is Seaweed in Navy |
I'm still not sure which blocks I'll make, though!
For any bee members reading, I hope you enjoy making your blocks! I can't wait to see them!
