I have been in the Bees Knees Sewing Bee for
two years now. A few of the members changed
this year... but it has still been a fun group
to see with!
This was my project from last year.
I had a project in mind for these... and last week Thelma reminded me of it
when I read her blog. So I got them out and am making a commitment
to getting them completed!
Starry Eyed was my Bee project for this year...
and I got all the blocks back already!
I had requested the group to make the star blocks and
I would make the alternate blocks.
Since I didn't really have the yardages the
pattern called for to begin with...
I used every bit of my scraps to pull
this one together!
You can see that I made nine-patches for the centers of
the alternate blocks in some... but I had a few larger scraps and I
went ahead and used them for the center of some of the blocks also.
(the pattern called for 4-patches for the centers)
I am working on sewing the rows together now!
I certainly would have liked to have used the fabric
in the original pattern... I like the black in it.
But this fabric is cute... it just doesn't have that contrast that the black
gives. What do you think?
16 friends stopped by to chat:
I adore your quilt, especially with those fresh colours. Well done!
I think it looks great. I love your colors. I also like the round blocks.
I like it. Just a different look. Thelma made me buy a FQ bundle of countdown. I'm still hoarding it.
Ahh, but you have the aqua! I think it looks great! :-)
Both look great! I love the first set of blocks, the round ones...they look difficult to construct, but they are pretty :)
I like it. I like it a lot. The black is good but yours is prettier and fresher looking.
I love your quilting groups name. I miss my quilting group. We were called the Block Heads. Lovely quilts. As always, my friend!

What do I think? Hands down yours! Love your fabric choices! You are in a very talented group of ladies , I am sure they love the blocks you make for them too.
It's nice to get back to things already started.The work is almost done!Your colors are great.
I have to agree....i love the freshness that yours brings to the quilt. And what a great way to use up all svraps by doing nined patch centers, love it!
I LOVE your version! And every time I see these Bees Knees posts, I have a little twinge of regret that I didn't join that first year -- sheesh!!!
Your Starry Eyed is adorable! I really love your blocks from last year--can't wait to see them in a finished project!
What a great setting - so versatile of you to utilize those scraps. It seems intended almost - planned scrappy! I think the two color schemes are both great - two very different vibes.
I love the quilt. I think I need to put it on my bucket list!
Can't wait to see the Bees Knees quilt!
I love the starry eyed pattern. It's one of my most favourite that the Moda Bakeshop has published. What a clever idea by you to use it for bee blocks. I think it looks great in your fabrics. I also adore Aneela Hoey fabrics, haha!
