February was my month to be Queen Bee for Stash Bee so I had an extra busy January making both Lynn’s blocks as well as my example blocks so I could put together my tutorial post for the Hive.
As I mentioned before, pregnancy fatigue and general baby preparations have been stealing my sewing time so I figured my Stash Bee Hive could help me make blocks for a quilt that would coordinate with our little girl’s nursery.
Below is the color scheme we chose for the nursery. I wanted something that was definitely girly but wasn’t just pink everywhere. I also took some photos of my fabric pull to hopefully give my fellow hive members a good feel for the look I was going for.
Here is my block choice for this month – colorful string blocks with a 1/2″ (finished) solid white stripe down the middle!
This block is made using a tutorial for Paper Pieced String Quilt Blocks that was put together by Film in the Fridge. I found the tutorial really easy to follow and have loved seeing my blocks start to arrive at my house. I can’t wait to put them all together!
Ties That Bind Quilting 
I saw all the blocks as they got posted on the Stash Bee site and they looked awesome! Can’t wait to see your finished quilt!
What an awesome way to get some help making a baby quilt. I look forward to seeing all the blocks come together! 🙂
Love your color palette and I’m such a fan of string blocks… they look fantastic! Oh, and congratulations too!
what a cheerful, feminine color palette! it’s going to look great. it’s so vibrant and pretty! good luck with the fatigue. =)
That is a beautiful set of blocks. I never would have thought of putting those colors together. They look lovely!
I love your colors and the way they all come together!
