Not only do I love this quilt, but it was made by one of the nicest group of quilters and ladies I've ever met. Our Bee started 2 years ago within the St Louis Modern Quilt Guild. I'd never participated in a Bee before and joined pretty much to make friends within the larger group. You see, I'm introverted by nature and always feel more comfortable in a smaller group. And did I hit the jackpot. Couldn't love hanging out with these girls more!
Our theme for this year was different techniques. My assignment was to incorporate triangles into my design. And did I ever. Eleven Flying Geese in each block.
The quilt was inspired by this one made by Lotje. It was a challenge to break the design down into a block for each Bee member. I shared my tutorial here.
The color inspiration came from Madrona Road by Violet Craft. The backing is a composition of most of the leftovers.
As I usually do ~ lots of fabrics added from the stash...
The perfect binding turned out to be this dot from Florence.
I'm entering my quilt in the Group/Bee quilts. Be sure to hop on over to all the different categories and vote for your favorites!

ReplyDeleteThis is stunning. Bee quilts always end up so amazing. The color scheme and design are perfection. Good idea to make yourself get involved more with the guild to overcome introversion. I did the same in my guild and ended up in leadership for nearly 3 years! It definitely helped me get to know others.
