May Queen

It's my turn to be queen in Bee a Brit Stingy for May.  I have chosen a nice easy block (after setting the Hipbees the Lynnebobsquarepants, I thought I'd steer clear of HST's)


I have asked for this Pineapple blossom block plus the bonus blocks.  The tutorial is here - its very easy and scrap friendly and makes some gorgeous quilts: these pictures are from the Quiltville website





and there are so many more on flickr too.  I will make some more up over the weekend.

I also have this lovely fabric to play with at the weekend


Sarah is our queen bee in Hipbees for May and she has given us a free rein to make pretty much what we want this month.  I already have some ideas in mind!

  1. Great block choice.
    It is going to be really interesting to see the blocks you get back altogether.

  6. That block is really great, it'll make a fun quilt and you'll have hours of arranging in different layouts! Look forward to seeing your ideas for my fabric!
