Hello Everyone,
I bet you can't believe that I have NEVER been involved in a Bee! Yeah, me too! So when my friend Andrea invited me to join the Two's Company Bee, inspired by the Red And White Quilt Show that was in NYC in March, I jumped at the chance. After all who wouldn't want a red and white quilt?
So first up was Tara's block!
She sent everyone their own fat quarter of red fabric and we needed to add the white. My red piece was plaid. I really liked how it turned out too.
It was a paper pieced block and you all know how I love paper piecing. So this block was meant for me. She explains how to make this block on the Two's Company Blog. I hope Tara likes it too!

Your blocks are just fabulous....I am not much on paper piecing but this looks great!
Cool block!
I am working on a couple of red and white quilts right now...it is a lovely combination! Love the block.
Jackie,
Beautiful block. I am supposed to start a challenge quilt for R/W quilt but little behind on that. Can't wait to see more!
That plaid is awesome for that block.
Oh I love the asteric - very nice. I had to laugh at the previous post about your cat. My cat love the bathroom sink and is a real pest in there until I turn the water on and she can play in it.

I LIKE that block!!
That red asterisk is lovely!
Very Cool Jackie!
I love your block!
I'm not normally a white person but this block is cute. I like the plaid fabric. It really is cute though. I like how the seams look like lights radiating from the little asterisk.
I would like to get a group together in my area, hoping to do charity quilts and thought that would be fun and hopefully get people at different levels, to make it easier to finish them.

I'm with you on paper piecing, what's not to love about a perfectly pieced block! Your first block is great, am eager to see the rest, I think this is going to be a stunner!
What do you think of how many days to come here for the orders to Hungary?
I love this pattern!

Love your block! I'm so jealous that you got to see the red and white quilt exhibit!

Yeah, It is really cool! Did you come up with the pattern yourself? I realy like it!
Oh Jackie - I tried to sign up for that yummy pink Kona bundle, but there were over 1000 ahead of me! I felt defeated! So let me say here and now - LOVE the red and white block! Happy happiest belated Birthday!
Love red/white combination and your block is amazing!! TFS
I love this....so much so that I had to click through until I found the pattern and ordered it!! lol
Now to decide on what two colors I want to use...
I love how your block turned out. @ color quilts are so striking.
I really like it!
I couldn't post the other day when I saw this block. I had it on my computer to comment on but was just admiring the block for a while when I had issues with my computer. I wanted to tell you how much I love this block. It looks hard but I think I could do it. Someday I'd love to make a quilt with this block. I'm going to bookmark this post.
This is such a cute block! I've never been in a bee either, Jackie. It's on my list of things to do soon. =)
Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!
