For some unremembered reason, this quarter I participated in TWO hives in the 3x6 bee. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time, but frankly, making 12 blocks was a little bit daunting.
I was the caretaker of a pinwheel hive, and I was also playing along in a star hive. When I found this block on
Rachel's blog I knew I had found the perfect block to make this quarter.
It's funny how some color combinations are more challenging than others. This person wanted avocado and navy in her block - both colors I didn't have in my stash.
This one wanted all red. I wasn't sure what I was going to do until I did it, but it actually turned out well, I think (better in person than in the photo, perhaps.)
And two people wanted this color combination - lime and aqua. I like it.
Here's a combination I would never have tried without the motivation of the bee, but I really like this one too.
Royal blue and aqua (with a little lime) was kind of fun.
I wouldn't have tried this one either, but it made a pretty dramatic block.
Too many dots? I hope not.
I'm not sure I like this one at all, really. It's a little busy. This person didn't want any background. It might have been better with a different lime, but this was all I had.
I really like the black and gold/yellow. Very bold and dramatic.
All in all, I like them. I sure hope the other ladies do too.
But remind me to do this bee one hive at a time in the future, OK?
