Woohoo! Two more blocks finished this week means only two more blocks to finish. I’ve picked out the final blocks, and then I’ll dive into joining blocks into four patches and adding sashing. I’m glad I already have backing and batting, as a large part of me is ready to see this quilt finished. (Don’t remind to me about quilting. I’m well aware the bulk of some of these blocks is going to be challenging.)
I did finish my bee quilt this week. I’m definitely in the mood for mindless sewing. The backing is something I dyed with mediocre success over the summer. My intention was for it to look bee stripe-esque. Just this week I redyed it to add the orange. The original yellow was a little too neon, and of course I turned it a little too orange. It works. I’m learning. The quilting is an all-over loop and meander with the occasional bee thrown in. The Assistant helped with all of it, and she’s be happy to add this to her collection. I’m happy to have a bin of scraps emptied usefully.

Your bee quilt is so pretty, Katie! I love those prints, and the backing is just great!
Love your bee quilt! Dyeing fabric can be tricky but I think the back looks fabulous!
What fun colors. Glad you are having fun with they dyeing, even if it didn't come out as planned, it is still pretty.
Very bright and fun! The Assistant sounds like the SIT, happy to high jack Mom's quilts for her own space. But we can't keep them all.
The bee quilt is so cute but the backing is awesome!
