Each person will choose a month to be queen bee. That queen bee will write a blog post for the first of the month describing the block they would like, showing photos of the test blocks they made, linking to tutorials and giving fabric preferences. Each bee mama can request up to two blocks at 12.5x12.5 inches unfinished (or equivalent). The hive members will then rummage through their stashes and make blocks according to the mama's wishes. Hive members are to have their completed blocks in the post by the last day of the month. Our bee will run from Jan 2014 through Dec 2014, including all summer months.
