Bee Block Experience #2

I was in several bee block exchanges as a new experience in 2015 but for each of the quilts that I used 2 bees each to make sure I had enough blocks in the end to make a larger quilt. My first blocks were for my Kaleidoscope Quilt and the other 2 hives completed scrappy Cross roads Blocks. 
These are the extra 4 blocks that I put together. As these hives were later in the year the blocks trickled in slowly and a few didn't come in at all but I did have enough with the extra blocks that I had made, this was going to be a large quilt. 
So it sat basted for a while waiting for me to quilt it when a friend of mine, Rena (The Southern Bobbin) asked for quilts that she could practice on with her long arm and I thought -- Why not? 
When it came back a short while later I got it bound and all ready for some couch snuggling. 

This is my 4th finish in the 3rd Quarter

    it's a really lovely quilt, that's a great block. That's one of the things that puts me off bees, that people just stop sending the blocks as they can't be bothered!

    shame you were let down by some of the blocks, I must admit to have been fairly lucky that way, only one block in three years. I have made this block for a bee before but didn't see how they all came together, so it is great to see yours.

    This is a great pick for a bee block, the scrappiness is fantastic. Congrats on a wonderful finish (the quilting looks amazing - what a treat!) and thank you for linking up with ONe Monthly Goal!
