I Joined a Quilt Bee

Yes, if you think I am crazy, you're right.  I've actually banned myself from signing up for anything else.  Anything.  This means I had to take a pass on the Doll Quilt Swap and the Scrappy Mug Rug Swap.

But back to the Bee.  Sunni is coordinating the Stash Bee {she's actually starting a Hive #4, if you're interested!}, and I'm a member of Hive #2, which started in February {I know, talk about waiting until the last minute!}.  So, here's the block I made for Miki {who is making a rainbow quilt}:


Lime seemed to be the color I could best make a monochromatic block from, so here is my attempt.  Let me tell you, this random piecing thing requires a lot more thought that just following a tutorial.  I think this block took me almost two hours to make!


I used Just Wing It, Castle Peeps, Ta Dot, and Flights of Fancy, they all seemed to go well together.  I put a little too much thought into the signature block...only to mess it up!  I  don't know why I put the word "by" on it...I wasn't even thinking!  I might make a new one {sorry it is out of focus...too dark, I'll snap a new photo in the morning!}...


So, there it is, first completed bee block. Bring on March!

  1. How do you find the time? :-) I like the block you made, and I think the colors definitely go together well. Someday I will have time to do my own crafty fun things again, too!
