Bee Quilt 2019 – Almost Finished

28. Juli 2019 4 Comments

my latest progress quilting community bee germany fleißige bee'nchen quilty circle of bees

Bee Quilt 2019 | mellmeyer.de

Most often I write only about my WIPs in my Finish Along Lists or other goal setting posts. All the progress pictures get posted on Instagram and then I forget to write in between blog posts.

This quilt had so much progress over the last days and most importantly I want to show you in details the beautiful fabrics my bee mates added into the mix. So for once we have a progress post :)

Progress

16 Days of Sewing

When I last mentioned this project, I was working on the layout. Since then I have sewn the top, the backing, basted and quilted my 2019 Bee Quilt. Yeah!

I am rarely this fast :)

Here are a few of the pictures:

Fabrics

Gorgeousness by my Bee Mates

I just love typography and icons. And that yellow fabric I think by Zen Chic ?!

Those bats !!! Also the grids in blue with white and white with blue – and the detailed patterned one – I think a Carolyn Friedlander…

Those floral prints. Mine are mostly graphic. I love these.

The tree fabrics always reminds me of a tree of life. And the Carolyn Friedlander “grid-dots” …

More typography and those gear wheels…

Beautiful clouds, funky lady birds and more Zen Chic … especially the dark blue with blue dots :)

So a big thank you to all my lovely bee mates. For sewing the blocks with my fabric but also for supplying blocks with so many beautiful additions :)

After my musings at yesterday #saturdaynightcraftalong about how to proceed with the quilting, I decided to stick to the original “zig zag” plan even though it meant a bit of quilt wrangling at about 30°/90F. I might have been very sweaty :)

But I am very happy that I persevered and didn’t jump to a faster solution. I love how it turned out!

Now I “just” need to decide on binding and finish…

Best wishes

    This is a really beautiful quilt Mel. Your bee mates did a great job with the white blue and yellow fabrics. Was you block request for any type of log cabin block?
