DEC. NEW'BEE BLock




NEW'BEE BLOCK FOR DECEMBER
I am posting mine early as well, so we have time for the holidays to prepare our December blocks...

I am sending each NEW'BEE participant TWO pieces of fabric to incorporate into a
STAR 12.5" block.

Pictured above.

My color palette of this block should read like the Star quilt at top.  
I'm going for a dark block, with lighter ethereal stars...

NAVY BLUE/ BLUES
GREENS
HOT PINKS
ORANGE
PURPLES
GOLDS/BROWNS

NO BLACK or WHITE please!

Must use "made fabric" Any which way you like in the block, or star...
You must use the TWO pieces I send you somehow in the block...
Cut them up however you like...

Incorporate a STAR in the block, (however you like)
ANY SIZE STAR, and any which way inside the block... makes no difference, on point, off center, etc... SO when I put them together the stars will be all over the place... Feel free to send an extra star that I can finish off... ;-)


So to sum that up:
This color palette,
with a star somehow inside the block..
NO BLACK or WHITE

Will get the envelopes mailed off this week. Thanks! ( can you believe we are talking about DECEMBER already?? sheesh!)

THANKS!

Looking forward to it.

Do you want that particular star? Would a different style star or a liberated version work be ok?

Can you direct me where to find out how to do a star? I've only ever done one quilt and it was all straight strips....
