Due to changes within Craftsy I am moving the patterns to Etsy. Each block will priced at $1 OR buy the entire series of 12 blocks for $5.
This was a free series in the past. Having Etsy host the patterns is easier for me, so feel free to share within sewing groups. Especially if you use one of the patterns as your Bee block! They do NOT need to be purchased multiple times. Same with the series purchase.
Thanks for your patience while I got these listings updated – they are ready to go.
Purchase and download HERE.

I love how my Bella Skill Builder quilt turned out. Huge thanks to Fat Quarter Shop for this quilt along!
We head down to Santa Rosa Beach in Florida every fall. Since my quilt colors were originally inspired by an ocean sunset (orange, yellow, sand, blues) I decided to bring it along for pics.
I had plenty of fabric leftover to piece a back.
For the quilting I decided on a simple cross hatch design. Took me forever to decide because of all the different blocks on the front.
I wish we could take credit for making this sandcastle. Since it was right in front of our rental we at least saw it come together.
Signing off with Bojangles. The dogs loving going to the beach!

I did it! I’ve finished all of my blocks for the Bella Skill Builder.
These are the Lazy Angle blocks made the Creative Grids Lazy Angle ruler. Be sure to leave that last row unattached for the assembly process.
I was really impressed with the ruler and can’t wait to explore more patterns I can use it with.
Next month is assembly and we’re done – I’m super excited!

How fun is this?!
This is the Starburst block and you’ll need to make 5. I’m really excited how all of these blocks look together.
One more month of block making then we get to put it all together!

I like big blocks!
The August blocks for Fat Quarter Shop’s Bella Skill Builder are awesome.
The top block is 24″ and this one is 20″. Just for funsies I tiled them to see what they’d look like:
Umm… YES! I totally want to make 9 of the bigger blocks for a 72″ throw. Super fun pattern that would make a good toddler quilt with 4 blocks.
You all know these patterns are FREE, right? It’s not too late to make your own. One more month and then on to assembling – exciting stuff!

I’m so excited to share these with you. Courthouse Steps:
This blue block right here? It’s possibly my favorite block I’ve made. Not sure if it’s the pattern, colors or combo of both. I just love it.
I really enjoyed making the blocks for this month. Every round you complete there is a new look to the block, it’s nice to see them come together.
You can get the free pattern here and be sure to pick up the awesome Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim ruler. It seriously makes these blocks a breeeeeeze.
