December Honey Pot Bee Blocks

I had a bit of a leg up this month with my December Honey Pot Bee Blocks because I am one of the queens and prepared the Hashtag is the New Plaid block to share. Isabella from South Bay Bella Studio created another fun block for December, the Star Catcher Block. I stayed as close to her color palette as I...

November Honey Pot Bee Blocks

After barely getting my Quilt Along and Bee blocks done in October, I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself to have them all done before the middle of November (well, excepting my own Wayward Transparency Quilt Along, but I'll be caught up on last Friday's instructions soon, I hope, haha)! The November Honey Pot Bee blocks proved less challenging for...

October Honey Pot Bee Blocks

I'm running on fumes this month, you guys! How is it already October 30th?!? Ah, well, at least I can say I got my October Honey Pot Bee Blocks made in October (barely). Whew. The two blocks this month took me a long time to piece. I don't know if it was just my lack of ability to focus or...

September Honey Pot Bee Blocks

I added two blocks to my growing grouping of Honey Pot Bee blocks for September. I was drawn to the Scrappy Cross Block, and I actually went back and looked at my group photograph from August to help me decide what fabric to use. After looking at the balance, I decided that two blocks would be a nice addition...

Another month means another addition to my growing collection of Honey Pot Bee Blocks! For August, the queens shared a Queen Bee Block and a Pineapple Block. Based on what I have been learning about my preferences as we go along, I decided to make a Pineapple Block this month. I took my time and I love how crisply the...

I really think the selections for the July Honey Pot Bee Blocks are great filler blocks, and in my excitement, I quickly sewed up a few blocks and anticipate that I will come back and make more of them when it is time to start really getting serious about my quilt top layout. Up first is Leanne from she can...

Life continues to be busy for me and there honestly hasn't been much sewing or quilting happening in my life lately. So it was with profound gratitude that I was able to spend a few days prepping my fabric and then sewing my June Honey Pot Bee Blocks together. It was nice to get re-acquainted with my sewing machine...

Molli Sparkles released The Honey Pot Bee February block tutorials on February 1st in Australia, which felt weird to read about on January 31st in my local time zone! Fi from Living Cloth shared her Star Kisses Block tutorial, and I spent a fair bit of time trying out different color layout options. I considered doing a more "scrappy" approach,...

Molli kicked off January for the Honey Pot Bee on the 4th, and it has been fun watching all the blocks already created via Instagram (#TheHoneyPotBee) and the Facebook group. I was able to get my blocks finished on Sunday afternoon, and I am really excited to see how my blocks are looking together already! Our first queen was Angie @Gnome...
