The Bee Hive- Block of the Month

14 Jan

I am very excited to say that I am part of the Bee Hive!

What is the Bee Hive, you ask?  Well, my friend Alyce at Blossom Heart Quilts is hosting a year-long series of quilt block tutorials on her blog. Each block is perfect for quilting bees because when you use several of the same block, they create a secondary design.  Here is the first block, Tic Tac Toe:

??????????

It’s a fun, modern block, right?  Well look what happens when you put several of them together:
