WIP Wednesday: a little Swedish Bloom-Time derail

I got distracted.

I blame the bee blocks.

This month was tough. We had to come up with our own thing. Not my favorite. I already have to choose blocks twice a year for everyone else to make.

Anywho, I spent all month trying to figure out what I would make. Here's what I came up with (others made houses, birds, flowers, trees, even a squirrel!):



After I made that Swedish Bloom-Time block, I wanted to make more! So I pulled some favorite aquas and yellows and made my first one.


This will be an ongoing project for me - I want to make a big ol' quilt for me that's in my two favorite colors!

Linking up!

  8. I love the bee hive! You should do a tutorial on it! I'd be there! I really want to do that one as I have a guest room and I am decorating it in a "garden" theme...and this bee hive on a decorative pillow would be perfect!
