Instead of having a particular block to make each month we had a theme, and when it was my turn to be Queen Bee I was very much taken with Schoolhouse block quilts, so asked my Bee mates to send a block that represented houses from their neck of the woods.
As with most things life got in the way, deadlines slipped and Bee mates fell silent in Flickr, but recently to my surprise two blocks arrived in the post from the aforementioned May, who has most definitely had lots of other things on her mind recently.
With the arrival of these two blocks I now have enough to put together for a quilt top.
Who knows I might manage to finish 2 Bee quilts this month, keep your eyes peeled for that blue moon :)

ReplyDeletehow good to now have enough blocks to make this lovely quilt and being a bee block will remind you of those who took art whenever you see it
ReplyDeleteWhat great blocks and they work wonderfully with those that you already have. you defintiely have the makings of a really gorgeous and fun lap quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet little houses! Especially love the red (barn?) one.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, well done May! Such a shame you only got 9 though, there should have been far more :-(
ReplyDeleteThis is looking lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo very cool, love a quilt made by many!
ReplyDeleteI've never taken part in a Bee swap but it must be frustrating if blocks don't arrive. this quilt is going to be fantastic even if it is not as big as you first envisaged. Fantastic to see how people interpret the theme differently too.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Everything goes together very well, for a swap
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got the blocks and are now able to get the top together. All the blocks are super cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat subject! I really like blocks with houses, they always look so fun. In this case it's nice to see everyone's different version. Looking forward to seeing this quilt finished!
