QCA Bee 5

During 2014 I participated in a 12-month Quilt Bee hosted by Quilt Club Australia on Facebook.  There were 12-members in our group.  Each member was designated a month which they would be the Queen Bee.  The Queen Bee would stipulate which quilt block she wanted the other members to make for her and the members would make her at least one block in her requested colour scheme and mail it to her.
 
These are my contributions:
 

January - Lisa's Stamp Collection Block

 
 

 
February - Jenny's Overlapping Squares Block
 
 

March - Melissa's Radiating Sparkler
 
 
April - Michelle's Rocky Mountain Puzzle Block
 
 
May - Kathryn's Mondrian Block
 
 
June - Racheal's Coxeys Camp Block
 
 
 
July - Tracy's Butterfly Block
 
 
August - Fiona's Cross Maze Block
 

 
September - Carlie's Solid Sampler Block
 
 
October - Kendra's Migration Block

 
November - Diane's "Eye Spy" quilt
As Diane will be trimming the blocks herself, I have only sewn a 2.5" border to a 4.5" centre block of little boy's fabric.

December - Judy's 16" Mondrian Block



I decided not to continue with this Bee this year.

This month I am making Jade's block which is the Triple Star Block using Kona white, Kona black & Kona coral. We had a choice of solid colour (I chose Coral) and we could present our block in a choice of two versions. I ended up making both options for her:
