Mini Monday: Queen for a Month

November is the month I get to be Queen Bee of our Mid Century Modern Bee group.  This is my first time participating in an online bee, and I had a difficult time choosing just one block idea.  So many quilt ideas....so little time.

I requested spider web blocks based on this tutorial from Heather.  However, I asked my fellow bee-ers not to assemble the four quadrants into blocks because I plan to follow this layout of Jacquie's.  The background fabric is low volume with the strips being bright modern fabrics.

Since I haven't decided whether I want each star to be of the same print (see picture labeled possible design option 1) or make the quilt even scrappier  (design option 2), I will wait until I receive all the block parts and play with the layout.  Of course that means more stitching for me...didn't think about that soon enough... ;-)

I can't wait until my blocks start arriving to see what combinations of fabrics my friends choose!  I know they will be fabulous!  Thanks in advance girls.

Happy Monday and happy stitching,
