It's almost April, which means it's ALMOST time for my turn to be Queen bee in both of my bee hives! I've picked out my block, but I haven't made a sample yet. I think I'm going to go for a scrappy look. But first I need to show off my blocks that I made for the Queens this month! First up is this really awesome Double Star Block!
I actually really love this classic block, and it looks so amazing repeated! This is a digital mock up of my photograph repeated into a 4 by 4 grid.
My second block is called Ripples, and the Queen asked for a bright scrappy look!
This block also makes a really great secondary design when repeated!
I think being in the bee hives is really fun, and I get to see other people's styles for the same types of blocks! I can't wait until April! Really I just can't wait for the snow to go away!
There is also so really exciting news that's coming, enough for me to consider creating a Facebook Group for my community to be able to control who reads some of this news first! Some things I just can't publicly announce on my blog just yet. What do you think? Would a Facebook Group be of interest to you?
There is one thing that I can publicly share… If you were following the I Wish You A Merry QAL and were in our Facebook Group, did you notice the name change? We are officially Partners In Design, where friends and fabric meet! This is foreshadowing of really fun things to come and I'm so excited!
I'm actually home this entire next week for the first time in a long while. I can't wait to give my machine a workout!
