The top is pieced. Unfortunately the rainy day wasn't great for photos but you get the idea.
Bee blocks are interesting things. Not always the size requested, and occasionally Snow gets used instead of White (second from bottom row - Snow looks like white until it is up against a true white). But you always get a great mix of fabrics, most of which you don't have in your own stash, and you do make the best of friends by being in a bee. That far outweighs any negative. A huge thank you to all my Modern Stitching bee pals who provided the blocks for this quilt in the making.

It's indeed a great collection of prints - then never mind the little off white block. I'm sure the quilt will make someone very happy.
ReplyDeleteBlimey, that was fast! It looks great. Love the purple/pink zig zag block :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the colour mixes, especially the pops of aqua.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours! I've done the 'snow by accident' thing. I tend to sew at night and then it's hard to see it's not true white.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely. I know what you mean about the size and colour differences.
ReplyDeleteYou really did get on with it, didn't you?!! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, fun and games - looks great though xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous! I've often wondered about the difference between snow and white (and never seem to have both in the house at the same time ) Now I know- they really are quite different arent they ? I think it just gives your lovely quilt extra personality though.
ReplyDeleteWhat, you haven't quilted it yet?! Get on with it! (I felt I needed to keep shouting ;o) )
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Some lucky child will love it! Jxo
ReplyDeletecan you hear my applause? This looks lovely
ReplyDeleteYes things do not always go great with the bee or swap blocks but you can always pull it together and make a nice quilt.

ReplyDeleteI'm such a numptee I've made my own bee blocks in Snow. Doh. Sure is going to make a small person happy.
ReplyDeleteThe Snow I have isn't even Kona, but Moda's (Bella?) Snow, and it looks like vanilla ice cream. I had it for two years before I came up with good uses for it. I love your bee quilt. Good on you for getting on with it!
