For a whimsical quilt block, look no further than this fun bee from Tilda’s World. It is a free block pattern that measures 13″ x 12″ unfinished. Because various fabrics are used to make one bee, it is an ideal design for a scrappy quilt. Just think of all of the different fabrics you can use to make your bees.
The block has a few tricky parts to it so it is probably not a good choice for a beginner. However, for those of you with a bit more experience, it should not be that difficult. One of the charming things about this design that makes it stand out is that it has a bit of embroidery. The antennae are hand embroidered on, but it could easily be done by machine as well.
You will need 6 fabrics, one for the background and five for the various parts of the bee. Other than that, standard quilting supplies are need to make this.
