BEE INSPIRED


i joined a virtual quilting bee about a month ago. march was our first month and the picture shown here is my first block.
-
the way the bee works is like this......
-
there are 18 members...we are given a month to be in charge of....some months have two leaders.
-
when it is our month, we send out fabric to all our members.....giving each member an idea of what we are looking for in a quilt. for example, rachel picked pinwheels.....sent out fabric to each of us and we could each make a pinwheel block of our own choosing.
at the end of the month we mail rachel back the left over fabric along with our completed block. when she receives all the blocks she will then have enough to put together a complete quilt.
-
when it is not our month to send out fabric we simple have a block (or two) to complete. i have one more block to complete for this month. i just got that fabric today and will hopefully be getting that done this weekend.
-
may is my month to send out fabric. i will share pictures and ideas later on when i figure out what my color and block theme will be.
-
and of course my goal is to do this without buying more fabric!!

I had the same set of fabrics and we have totally different blocks. I love how that works.
