UFO Bee Block of the Month 2023

2024 Blocks:

In 2024, we're going to sew Puzzle blocks, instead of Star blocks.

Block 1 - "Old Maid's Puzzle" block  Link  The January Block of the Month

Block 2 - "Dutchman's Puzzle" block  Link   The February Block of the Month

Block 3 - "Chinese Puzzle" block   Link   The March Block of the Month

Block 4 - "Bachelor's Puzzle" block  Link   The April Block of the Month

Block 5 - "Indiana Puzzle" block  Link  The May Block of the Month  (Special Note:  This is a 9" block, made of 9 3" segments, 3 segments per all 3 lines. However, to make it into a 12" block, enlarge those segments to 4" each.  So, to make a half square triangle (this block has 9 of them), cut your squares 4 7/8" or 5" and trim to size.  On the center segment, get some graph paper, draw a 4" square, mark the center point on all 4 sides, and draw lines to make a square in a square.  Cut out the square and one of the half square triangles and draw around them and add your 1/4" seam allowance to all sides.  Any questions, please give Rebecca a call - 281-732-1575)

2023 Blocks:

Block 1 - "Friendship Star" Link

Block 2 - "Spinning Star" Link  (Be sure to get both pages)

Block 3 - "Coffin Block"  Link  (Special Note:  The squares are cut  2 5/8" x 2 5/8."   That's halfway between 2 1/2" and 2 3/4."  The setting triangles are 7" cut on the diagonal. Scroll down on the page to see all instructions.)

Block 4 - "Frayed Sawtooth Star"  Link  (Special Note:  Cut the blocks exactly as the measurements say and refer to the tutorial on the right side of the first page to make the flying goose segments.  Hint: it’s a different way that leaves no waste!

Block 5 - "Diamond Star"   Link  (It’s a 12” block done in 2 colors and comes out as a stunning block.  Be sure to look at the samples made by the pattern testers.)

Block 6 - "Martha Washington Star"   Link (Special Note:  A 12" pattern found on quilterscache.com. I made mine in 2 fabrics with high contrast (black and white/orange and white) and they came out marvelous! )

Block 7 - "Hunter's Star"   Link  (This block is the 5th Monday block for May)

Block 8 - "Rising Star"   Link 

Block 9 - "Pieced Star"   Link 

Block 10 - "Northumberland Star"   Link  (There are 2 blocks in July)

Block 11 -  "Missouri Star Variation"    Link  (A 12" block)

Block 12 - "Pinwheel Star Block"   Link  The September Block of the Month is a lovely block.

Block 13 - "Moon and Star Block"   Link  The November Block of the Month  does have some applique - you can do your applique by hand, by machine or by raw-edge.

Block 14 -  "Starry Paths Block"  Link  The December Block is from the famous Jinny Beyer.  Please scroll down on the right side of the page and click on the link that says "Download Free Pattern".   A nice way to end the year!

If you need help, please contact Rebecca, 281-732-1575.
The year is almost over, make sure you have time to get the top together before January when we can all show what we have done
