2014 RSC, April, Purple, Week 4 and Bee Happy Finished


After playing with my purple scraps I'll add four 8.5" cat blocks, four 7" string blocks, four 60 degree string triangles, a purple hot pad/pot holder, and two 6.5" turquoise midgets. My purple scraps are stored away and I'm ready for another color. To see what others made with purple scraps this week, go here Saturday morning.


This morning I finished my BEE HAPPY Bee In My Bonnet sew along wall hanging or child's quilt. It's quilted with a loose free motion meander and some loop-de-loops thrown in for fun. The binding is a red floral. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished a soft 63.5" square.

    Beautiful purples! I just love that big bee in the middle of the quilt! It came out so cute and the pop of red is perfect.

    Love your finish! I really like the binding to have something interesting to pop up, so a floral is just the thing.
    I didn't realize you had multiple cat blocks going. How fun! Can't wait to see what they will be.
    Hugs
