My "12 Things" project for April was a quilt made from my bee fabrics. We keep bees, I'm apparently dangerously allergic, but they are so lovely to see flitting around. I wasn't sure what to do, and I still don't love my block choice, but it is what it is.
I chose the Sister's Choice block. I still have some 10" squares and a fat quarter or two whose print were too large to work in this quilt, so I see another bee quilt in my future.
The quilt is roughly 62" x 84", quilting with an all-over gold in a loop and wandering meander, imitating the flight of a bee. I don't think bees really wander as much as people think, but really are checking out the directions of other bees or the scents on the air. I backed it in a green with gold flecks and bound it in the yellow border fabric.
Next up, since I'm tired of finishing a quilt so close to the deadline of the end of each month, I'll be making a baby quilt or two.
