Maybe I'll have to do a private swap with you to get another of my bee blocks for the quilt I'm working on! ;) My favourite bee blocks were the Mondrian-inspired blocks I made for the red and aqua bee.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998942344975834529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-18465754006444444002012-11-15T14:14:36.533-08:002012-11-15T14:14:36.533-08:00It is crazy how fast time flies!

I have the book "Shape Workshop for Quilters" from Fat Quarterly. That's full of cool blocks perfect for bees (they all measure 12"). I like the Joseph's Coat block from there (by Brioni Greenberg) a lot. I think doing a block that's a little more time consuming or challenging for a bee is great, because they only have to make one or two and it might teach people new skills.Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040291100834004406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-91939081785940746102012-11-14T20:46:59.488-08:002012-11-14T20:46:59.488-08:00Beautiful improv block.

This bee has definitely been my favourite because of the blocks people are choosing. Ok, the people are pretty good too ;-)<br />I've been looking at different spiderweb blocks, maybe something paper pieced for my month? Maybe....Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307333354110021492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-67928884885735466612012-11-14T05:53:13.983-08:002012-11-14T05:53:13.983-08:00Great improv Heather!

For easier/more common ones you can always go with flowers, stars, hearts, circles, etc. Give your group a direction and the fabrics you want them to use and let them put on their thinking caps.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306504793699710978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095106905642559625.post-11509474399361312812012-11-13T18:45:46.515-08:002012-11-13T18:45:46.515-08:00I struggle with how to put together wonky random i...I struggle with how to put together wonky random improv blocks but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they look.

I also love this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55389776@N08/8152407819/in/pool-1793590@N20 from the Modern Blocks book. <br />I also love the idea of an x and + bee quilt.
