In Round 2, each Bee member was asked to pick a quilt from the book to which her fellow Bee members would contribute blocks.
These are the blocks that I received when I was a Queen Bee in May.
This month is the last month of Round 2 and as our August Queen Bees went AWOL, the Queen Bees for September were able to get ahead of themselves and post their requests early.
A couple of weeks ago I sent off these blocks for Jennifer's Up, up and away Quilt, which left only two blocks to be completed for Denise.
Denise asked for 2 x 10.5" blocks in low-volume fabrics for the quilt which the book was named after. I am never quite sure if I have hit the mark with low-volume requests, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that these fit the bill.
And these are the last blocks for this Bee.
It has been fun being part of the Bee and I have certainly tried blocks and fabric combinations that I would never have otherwise tried. If I can get the last of the Star of Africa Bee blocks done and dusted, which is a much taller order (!), I might even make some progress with those Round 1 blocks :)

What a fun variety of blocks. I'm really interested in Jennifer's Up, Up and Away plan. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a 49 LV fabric challenge myself this weekend for a bee block, you have my complete sympathies!
ReplyDeleteYou've made a lovely selection. I especially like the low volume :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pastels in the last block, Fiona. Time for another lesson... what's a low-volume fabric?
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks.........I like the low volume too!
ReplyDeletePretty blocks!! You do make a wide variety!! My favorites are the 1st one and the last one! Hope your week is off to a great start!
ReplyDeletelol, i wondered where the bee name came from, all the blocks look fab
ReplyDeleteit must be such fun to take part in a project like this, maybe when I know what I am doing in the patchwork world I will be able to join something like this.
ReplyDeleteI too don't really know what low volume means, but the blocks are pretty!
