Thank you so much to everyone in the Bee for your gorgeous blocks. They've come together rather well, I think!!
Quilted in wavy lines.
With a thrifted sheet on the back. (I couldn't believe my luck when I found it. The colour is PERFECT!!)
Fabrics are mostly from my scrap bin and the stashes of my 12 fellow Beehivers. Truly a communal project!!
And the fancy shmancy binding? I followed Trisha's excellent tutorial on how to bind a quilt so that it looks like it has piping (but doesn't really).
Such a clever idea with a very effective end result!
I'll be trying that one again for sure!!
You can find more creative spaces over at the lovely Kirsty's.
Have a stitchin' day.

oooh, I'm dead curious now - got to go check that out. What is it? Like a flange?
ReplyDeleteps - love that quilt. Can I have it? Green doesn't suit you - makes you look like a frog. Best send it to me actually.
Wow! This is fabulous and I love the binding too... off to check it out too.
ReplyDeleteAndy, this is AMAZING! And also, it makes me feel bad that I still haven't gotten my butt moving at ALL on my bee quilt!
ReplyDeleteSerious eye candy disguised as a quilt, Andi! It's so gorgeous and I'm in love with your quilting and your fancy shmancy binding.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!I love the tutorial! Thanks for sharing. and this quilt is awesome! The quilting looks so great! It's looks so smooshy! (is that a word?) well anyway, it looks cuddly and has a very neat effect to it. <3 it!

Andi it is absolutely stunning. I'd love to see it in person one day. I was thinking it would be good to have a flickr gallery dedicated to finished pics of our Beehive quilts- to encourage us to finish them & show the diversity!
ReplyDeleteLove the squiggly quilting!

Love this quilt...so pretty and that green is divine! The squiggly quilting is a great finish...nice alternative to meandering or straight line quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a great scrappy quilt. I just adore that green. Great choice on your binding fabrics. So glad you got the chance to use the tutorial!
