Bee blocks pink quilt #1

So this month I got my pile of pink and white bee blocks out as I wrote earlier in the week and asked the girls to "design" their own quilts.

I finished putting the tops together last week and on Saturday night I pieced the backing together.


Well I finally loaded the first top on my quilting frame on Sunday and quilted it on Sunday/Monday nights.

I used an easy meander pattern with a few love hearts here and there because my youngest just loved them.



Just the binding left, which I attached just before the week-end.


 Quilt stats:
Top: Bee blocks from 2013 to 2016 plus filler blocks
Backing: Stoff fabric from my stash
Binding: Bike track from my stash
Assembled and quilted: Oct 2017
Quilted with Superior Thread, King Tut 956

One OPAM for October , one less UFO (yeah) and one of my Q4FAL, an overall win!
Linking to Whoop Whoop Friday

That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y...

Well not really where I am. It is pouring down with rain and it is very windy too. But it has been snowing in my sewing room! If you have arrived from the Holiday Lane Pillow  blog hop , welcome!
