These are my first bee blocks for the Do. Good Stitches quilting bee for March. I was so excited to be asked by Rachel to join this virtual quilting bee, and I got right to work on this month’s blocks, which were very fun to make. In fact, I totally want to make a quilt using blocks like these! I think that may be the only downside to a bee like this– I will want one of everything for myself!
I sent the blocks off to the quilter this month, who will put the quilt together once all the blocks arrive. (If you’re interested, you can see some photos of blocks and quilts in progress at the Do. Good Stitches flickr group). All of the quilts are sent off to various charity and non-profit organizations once they’re finished, and I’m really happy to be a part of such a good group! Plus– next month I get to design the quilt, and I already have a million ideas about what to do… I’ll be making some test blocks for it this weekend!
oooh, test blocks and everything! This is gonna be good (but I knew that).
Wow! That is going to be one interesting quilt. I hope I get to see it when it’s finished.
I just made my first bee block this week too. I feel like I’m really part of the quilting community now.
