Well, we are starting our second month of the New Bee. I'm so glad to see so many join in and enjoy making the blocks. I hope everyone that made January's will also do February's.

The one stipulation is that when you have made your block, you must post a picture in order to be in the next month. The blocks will be 10” finished.

This month's blocks have been chosen by Sauki1 (Angie). I hope you will try them & post pictures. We welcome new participants. Just send me a PM or post on the New Bee, I will see that you want to join in. Here are the two block patterns plus a printable version of how to make 8 HST at a time. Enjoy.

Happy Sewing

Thank you! Lovely blocks chosen by Angie!!
I've downloaded them and will try and take a look in the next few days
Hugs all, Jacquie xxx

I like the pinwheel technique where you sew around 2 squares (right sides together) , cut an X & then assemble pinwheel. NO HSTs.

Thought I'd better post my blocks. Hope ya'all enjoy making these, or one or the other.

Beautiful, love the colors.

Love those fabrics Jean! Great job on those beautiful blocks.

Hugs,

Oksewnsew: Very nice blocks. I have the patterns saved for the next two blocks.

Connie

just downloaded the patterns. These will be a challenge for me

I love the second block ! The first is cool, too, but I'm a sucker for pinwheels, and this secondary design really has pizzazz.

These look like fun blocks. Where do we find January's blocks?
