I was Queen Bee for September and requested an HST block using white, grey, black, and one orange. I used the following Kona colours in the block I made: Iron, Coal, Silver, Pepper, White, Charcoal, Shadow, and Tangerine.
Here is a close up of six of the blocks. Great shades of orange. Thanks to all my hive mates.
One hive mate sent me two blocks, and I'm waiting on two more blocks to arrive in the mail. On the advice of Dena @ No Frickin' Blog Yet, I think I'm going to make another four blocks so it ends up being square.
This is probably not the final layout, but I just love it!! I'm going to leave it on my design wall so I can look at it every day.
I hope you're all working on something fun this week.

Oh, I love getting to see all the blocks together. Those pops of orange are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI can only agree with Yvonne! This block can absolutely stand alone but seeing all of them together is also great. I'm curious on how you'll be quilting it :-)
ReplyDeleteVery neat layout, Anja! I love how the orange pop brings it all together!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Yvonne those pops of orange are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love this one Anja. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love your color choices. Can hardly wait for the finish.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic, and what a great way to get so many HST's without making them all yourself :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are really coll blocks. I already marvelled at them at Stash Bee and the quilt top will look stunning. Such a good idea of yours to ask for this block =)

ReplyDeleteThose blocks are looking so good hanging up on the design wall. And the orange really pops against those neutrals. What a great choice for a bee block!
