Did you know that yesterday was the last day of March?
Did you know that my Yellow RSC quilt was not finished....
Did you hear the panic, the desperation, the whirring of the sewing machine????
That was me... sorry about that disturbance....
But Now!!! after all that Panic - I can now say!!
YELLOW is finished!!!
It is super bright and FULL of bees!! I hope that all the bees stay on the quilt, and don't swarm me... I am allergic - but!! they are just so cute!!!
When I was building it - it just seemed unfinished.
Jan at https://thecolorfulfabriholic.blogspot.com/ said I should add a row at just the bottom.
And she was right ! Finished it just the way I wanted it to look!!
Then I quilted really fun circles - in my thoughts - maybe how a bee flies as it goes around the flower before landing?
Oh!! and for the back!! I found a Black with Bees Print!! I am thinking I might have carried the theme a little too far - but! Its all a Buzz now!!!
The Maize color I had really got 7 hats and that top right one is all the leftovers of the maize, Green and blue. So there you go - I am up to 25 hats for M to use for her Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes.
AND NOW!!

Yellow is fabulous, Alycia. Love all of the bee fabrics. Thank you for hosting the link party. Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish. I do like that row added to the bottom. Thanks for hosting Finished or Not Friday.
ReplyDeleteLove your bees, and IMO there can never enough on a quilt! Isn't it great to have someone make a suggestion or help you figure out how to enhance a quilt? We have a great community. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for the finish! It's bee-utiful and oh so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWooow!! What a great RSC finished quilt!!! So much spring and hope.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish on a cute quilt and group of adorable hats
ReplyDeleteDelightful post! The steppin up quilt is gorgeous and the bottom row is just what it needed! The hats are super--you are a knitting factory! lol
ReplyDeleteLove those hats!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a popular color scheme these days. The quilting is SO appropriate! I don't think you overdid the theme at all. I have a niece who would be bonkers over this quilt!!! And for good reason. You did a terrific job! Love the hats, too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't quite get my Yellow finished either. I'm going to let it slip into Friday Night w/Friends.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty yellow quilt!
ReplyDeleteJan's suggestion to add a row to the bottom was just what the quilt needed. And what perfect backing fabric. I think sometimes a theme is fun to carry all the way through. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute quilt (and hats, too!!)
ReplyDeleteOh, bee joyful! Love the quilt and the theme. And all those wonderful hats!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Gotta like that sunny yellow, and the bee prints just make me smile. Looks like the border idea worked well for you. Congrats on your finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat job finishing up your yellow projects. I was one day late too getting mine posted....so I think it still counts :)
ReplyDeleteWell done! Such a cute quilt. And the hats are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe buzz is out! What a lovely bee quilt, such fun. And a nice collection of warm knitted hats too. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beeutiful finish you got and I love how you carried the bee theme to the back and in the quilting.
ReplyDeleteCan you ever have too many bees? Your quilt proves otherwise. So much fun.
