Plotting and planning for being Queen Bee

I have been plotting and planning about what to get my lovely hipBees to make, block wise, when it is my turn to be Queen Bee. February is the month that I am Queenie. 

 I have had a few ideas about what my choice might be but have finally settled on what I would like these lovely ladies to make. I am going to let them loose on my precious Ruby fabric. I love this fabric range and I have made cushions from a layer cake for my living room. 

A Ruby cushion
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I would like to make a quilt to put over the sofa. So my lovely hipBees, I hope that you are up for the challenge! I have hummed and hawed as to what to ask for. I knew that I wanted a block that contained flying geese and then I saw this QAL and I was smitten.

 I have made one block to test how it looks.
Wild Geese block
I cannot wait for my lovely hipBees to get started on making these blocks for me. I know that it is going to be an awesome quilt.
