In my Sew & Bee Happy bee, folks request a block that each hive member makes from their stash alone. Kat had requested a monochromatic block with a little white wonky star for her picnic quilt. She gave us a list of colors to choose from so we're not all making similar blocks. I chose dark/royal blue for my block:
Over in Sew Bee Blissful, Sarah had requested a scrappy rainbow starflower design using a fantastic tutorial by Ellison Lane Quilts. The great thing about this tutorial is for very little additional effort you get two blocks instead of just one. So, Sarah will get a pair of these:
And finally (for the Part 1 of this post) I made two blocks for the Care circle of Do.Good Stitches. Dolores was looking for a pair of complementary blocks in a green (olive, lime, teal, avocado) that were made with matching fabric. For this, we used a sawtooth star tutorial by Purl Bee.
Stars are big right now apparently :) I loved making each and every one of these. In Part 2 of the bee catch up there will be....wait for it....more stars! Eeekk! This is so exciting :)

Awesome blocks!! Not that I'm biased or anything ;)
Actually that's funny because I was going to choose the block you did for Sarah myself but decided to come up with an original design instead. So you almost had to make another one of them ;)
All those stars are fab! Making blocks like that just makes me happy. Sounds like the same for you!
Wow! Who knew stars were so popular? I nearly went with a completely different block but the stars were calling...
Great blocks! Stars are always fun!
Stars seem to be very popular!
Love all the stars, although getting a little worried at myself sitting here playing name that fabric...
Phew, Katy did it too... (guess the fabric that is) Love all your blocks Cindy, but I still dont know how you manage to keep up with so many bees... well done!
