Bee Quilt 2019 – Almost Finished

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 :)

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:

Gorgeousness by my Bee Mates

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

So far this quarter …

I moved my website to a new provider and had problems in the beginning. They should be fixed. But if not, I need your feedback to know :)
Thanks!!!
