Can it possibly be June already? It is! Our Charity Bee Block this month is easy-peasy, so make a BUNCH. This block was inspired by Easy as 1-2-3 from designers Marny Buck and Jill Guffy of Modern Quilt Relish.

Inspiration quilt and tutorial is here at All People Quilt.

Color Palette: Solids ONLY, NO prints! Stick with red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, and black.

Unfinished Block Size: 6.5″ x 9.5”

Block Instructions: Selecting two colors from above, cut three strips of fabric that are 2.5” x 9.5” inches. (1 strip of color A, 2 strips of color B). Sew these strips together along the 9.5” side in B-A-B order.

Please contact Rebekah if you have any questions. Happy Summer and Happy Sewing!
