Bee Europa is made up of 2 groups of 12 quilters - the honeybees and the bumblebees. January in my month for sending out fabric for the bumblebees. So I sent out a mixture of aqua, blue, orange, yellow and a little brown. I have asked my group to make a block of their choice using this mosaic as inspiration.
These are the types of blocks I am after:
Wonky stars - tutorial
Log cabins –straight or wonky - tutorial
Comfortstitching style block - tutorial
Bento Box
Improvised Block - tutorial
And because I also wanted to have a go I made an extra fabric pack for me! These are the blocks I made from my pack.
I am soooooo excited about this quilt!

This will be beautiful! I love all of your yummy fabrics. It is my month for a new bee too and I'm sending out blue/aqua and orange too. Happy 2010!

I've nearly finished the first of the two blocks I'm doing for you. It's good to work with fabrics different to your own.
