Beehive Time

We had our monthly meeting last night.  Kat was our Queen Bee this month.  She chose the snowball pattern.  However, since her family loves science, the top three snowballs were to be scrappy in teals and the bottom balls - scrappy in grays.  Her plan is to intertwine the blocks, 16", to represent the DNA molecule.  Here are some of the blocks she received.


 Becky is explaining something important to Kelly.
 Greta shows us her block.
Kat, being the queen wears her tiara from her wedding, relishing her blocks.

Kelly was Queen last month.  She not only had her quilt top assembled, she had it quilted as well.




I was Queen several months ago.  I had an inspiration delay as I changed the pattern a bit.  All in all, it turned out very cool.  



 I played with decorative stitching around each block.  I also utilized another QAYG method.
 To add interest the blue flanges were added in various lengths and in varying places on the blocks.
 My fellow beehive quilters make the most adorable signature labels.
Here's the  back:  a mixture of the circles, bright green and dark blue with matching sashing connecting the blocks.  Thank you everyone!
