2015 - January Block of the Month - Directions & Discussion

In 2014 we worked with squares and rectangles.
This year, we will throw in some other shapes and try a few different techniques.

To kick things off, we'll start with the Honey Bee block.
It's a Public Domain block; one set of instructions can be found here:

Hey Patrice, love your choice! I've never made a Honey Bee block before. I'm going to make mine completely scrappy! Thanks for hosting this thread!
