Back in February I
was queen for the month in the Bee Inspired group. I chose the Inside Addition block that I upsized to 12 ½”
(the tutorial is here).
It was like Christmas once the blocks started rolling
in, and coming home and checking the mail box was full of anticipatory
excitement. I made some extra blocks and now we have the big reveal – tada!!!!!
The top finishes up
at a fairly decent size of 62 ½” by 75”.
Getting the colour
shading layout to my satisfaction was a little difficult for me. I haven’t ever
attempted this technique before and I struggled to find any sort of starting
point. Hindsight and photos are a great thing and I think I can see where I would
swap some block placements if I was doing it again. If I have a tip it would be
to allow yourself plenty of time to work on the layout (I didn’t so it was a case
of frantically trying to get it laid out and watching the clock at the same
time).
Thanks so much to all
my Bee mates, all of whom
are former participants in the 2016 New Quilt Bloggers group, for contributing
to this project. You all did great work!
Till next time
Ooroo

I think the top is looking fantastic! Actually, I'm pretty impressed that you already have the top together, February doesn't seem like it was all that far away.
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe top turned out beautifully. Photos can really help with placement, but I think this is lovely just the way you have it. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I think you are the first of any of my Bee Mates (I am in three) to have an actual quilt finished. So kudos to you! I am impressed! It's fun trying to find my block and seeing how it fits in with all the others. Blue ribbon for finishing first!!
