So, my month for this quilting bee was April of 2010. It’s about time I got these blocks sewn together into a quilt top, right?!
I think my month snuck up on me, so I opted for a perennial favorite – blocks in the style of Denyse Schmidt’s Drunk Love in a Log Cabin (and yes, I had members of the Block Party quilting bee make similar blocks – love them!).
I had a piece of a great purple floral print that I asked each member to include somewhere in their block. The greens, purples and grays were all pulled from that print. Looking at it now, I really love how light and springy this one turned out!
Thank you to all the members of Bee Imaginative for these gorgeous blocks!

Thanks for all your wonderful comments about my crazy unfinished quilt problem! I should let you know that even though I’ve been tempted to start on a new quilt, each time I’ve made myself stop and do something towards finishing that pile of quilts. I have a backing made, 2 are now basted, a bit of fabric has been ordered for backings, and I’ve been poring over Angela’s new book
taking stock…
Ruby Strings quilt
This quilt is full of promise and evokes a new life feeling for me. Must be those cheerful, bright colors!
This looks gorgeous.
I love the colours -I don’t know why but I have a crush on gray with other colours…
I like the quilt top. The colours work together wonderfully.
You know how exasperated Grover is when he says, “You turned another page!!!!”? Well, that was the voice inside my head when I learned you had made ANOTHER QUILT TOP!!!! And yet it is as beautiful as all the rest in your tall, tall stack.
I love this. Between scrappy and modern this is a “winner, winner, chicken dinner”.
These are my favorite colors together. I have an unfinished that this inspires me to pull out.
How beautiful all of those quilt tops are! I love your blog and those of your fellow quilters, all amazing work.
I often wonder though…..quilting fabric is beautiful and I love it, but it’s so expensive! How can folk afford to have such huge stashes of fabric. Yes, they are collected over time, I know. Nevertheless, does anyone else agree that quilting is an expensive endeavour?
My stash is small and my recycling efforts are paying off.
Thanks for inspiring my quilt making!
Beautiful quilt
It seems like springtime to me!
