3×6 Bee Blocks
I decided to participate in the 3×6 Sampler Bee for the round which is currently taking place. For those of you unfamiliar with this bee, each participant is grouped with 7 other people. Each person within that group fills out a short questionaire including the colors they would like used for their block as well as fabric likes/dislikes. After each participant has received that info. from the other peeps in their group they make one block for each person (so a total of 6 blocks) in the requested color scheme. The 6 blocks are all made using the same block pattern just different color combos.

I love them all! What a great block!
Oooh, these are just gorgeous! The rainbow is my favorite too.
What a cool Bee! I was not familiar with it, so I appreciated your explanation. It sounds quite fun! I love these blocks – so fun to see the range of colors on this one. I also love the block you chose. Thanks for sharing the link.
I adore these.
I love my block!
These are awesome!
I like how you look at blocks and see then in a different way. I have seen that block, but never would I think it could look so great. Wonderful!!
each one of those blocks is just so amazing! and ditto what Jane said! I don't think I realized the potential in that block!
these are great!
I love each one – especially the red and aqua! Thanks for the link to this pattern as well – it's a keeper:)
This such a cool block. And such a great concept for a quilt block exchange. I would love to be a part of something like this. Do you think another one will be starting some time?
omg… Those blocks are amazing. It is just the inspiration that I need for my red & aqua fabrics. Thanks for sharing. love 'em.

okay so this is going to sound crazy but the comment above "josh" is from me….apparently my son was on the computer last and I didn't realize it..and I can't delete it and put my name. just to explain.
These are SO fabulous … thanks for sharing the pattern!
Fantastic blocks! I love them! ann…
Each one is spectacular! I love what you did with fabric placement…quite different from the example in the instructions, and just gorgeous.
LOVE them all! Great color & fabric choices.
