Above is my test block for the [3 x 6] Sampler Quilt Mini Bee 2nd Qtr 2011 – Beehive 23! Unfortunately I can’t take any credit; that belongs to Mr. Parfait. My original design did not work out, and I wallowed in self pity for a few days before giving in and accepting that it just wasn’t going to work. After days of trying to think of something else (I had a mental block due to my original design, heh) my Husband came up with this design. A few days later we got busy working on a test block using my color palette. It is cut and pieced as patchwork, then set on point. I really love the finished block, the interlocking squares/shapes look really neat! I can’t wait to see it made in the other color choices; I think orange and aqua on gray is going to look great!
Edit: Tutorial is up!
Would you be willing to write up a tutorial for this? It is AMAZING! Or, since you are having a baby and have other things to do blow up the diagram? I would love to be able to reproduce this. You guys are a great team!
I love this block! Very creative. I would love a tutorial on this too, it’s fantastic.
Hello Leila! Thank you so much for your kind words!
We are working on a tutorial, a few things have been changed since we made this test block, so it should be easier to work out the steps now! Stay tuned!
Thank you Becky! Tutorial is in the making!

I am hoping you will have your tutorial up by the time it is my turn in the “Orange you be glad Bee” by Staci the Confused quilter. Keeping my fingers crossed is a tough way to sew!?! Thanks…Leslie

I have been searching for a pattern for some kind of Celtic knot. I love that this is pieced and not applique! I need to make 12 blocks for an exchange and the 12 finished quilts will be on display at the International Quilt Festival of Ireland in June 2013. May I have permission to use your pattern? I will be sure to post a picture of my blocks on your flicker page.
