I've been attending a Mom's group at church and this baby snuck up on me quickly. I knew for most of the year that she was pregnant and yet suddenly the baby was here!
Anyway, I was Queen Bee in January for Stash Bee, so I decided to use those blocks for the quilt. I started laying them out and realized quickly that it was way to big for a baby quilt. So I've only used a bit over half of them, which means I can use the other half for another baby quilt!
For the bee block I asked for a log cabin block and then I cut them in quarters. In hind-sight, this was probably not the best choice for a bee block. Bee blocks come in with all sorts of tolerances, and then when I cut them the things seemed to get worse. (I would like to note that I am not always the best at getting the block size perfect either, especially if I'm doing the whole quilt. I try really hard and am getting better, but I'm often surprised at how some of my seams end up so small.) I used Kona Hunter Green for the setting triangles.
I used a leaf motif for quilting. I thought it fit the green theme well. I didn't quilt on the white squares, because I didn't want the green thread showing up.
