So Here's the Plan

Believe it or not, one of the toughest things about participating in bees is deciding what to have your bee do when it's your turn to choose! After much deliberation, I've decided I'm going to have the Mid-Century Modern Bee made me Rolling Diamonds blocks in April. Here's my sample block, which measures 12 1/2" unfinished.
Yup, after my last round with this bee making a very low-volume quilt, this time I'm going bolder! I'm not even going to make requests for colors other than bright and fun! The inspiration quilt {and block tutorial} is by knottygnome crafts. It just makes me smile.

    I've never been in a bee, but wish I could. I'd make you a fantastic block. I downloaded the tutorial and will definitely make one....at least. The inspiration quilt has my mind spinning - brights will be beautiful!

    Nice block choice. I agree that it is hard to decide what to pick for a bee.

    I should have included this block in my "bucket list" because honestly I have had plans forever for making a quilt with this block, it is going to be a great quilt!

    I'm liking the look of that turquoise and orange block so perhaps.......

    I totally remember the agony of selecting a block. I had 11 months to decide and yet I was in total panic two days before. That being said, I think your block is great and perfect for using lots of different vibrant fabrics.

    It will be fun making you something bright. I have lots of brights.

    I agree it's hard to pick a block when it's your month to choose

    Wow their quilt looks beautiful. Your quilt will too I'm sure. I think I'd pick blocks that I wouldn't be adventurous enough to make! But then I'm not in any bees.
