Under the wire... Steppin on Up!!! and Finished ( or not) Friday!!

 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!!!



And for the final Count of Hats for the Month of March - EIGHT!!



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 I am ready to move on to Pink for April!! This is what I found... we will see what works!!

AND NOW!!
Welcome to Finished!! ( or not) Friday!!!

Hopefully you had a great week and you have a finish to show off!! to let us Ohh and Ahh over!!

Great finish. I do like that row added to the bottom. Thanks for hosting Finished or Not Friday.

Linda said...

Love 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. :)

Cathy said...

Hooray for the finish! It's bee-utiful and oh so sweet!

Nancy @ Grace and Peace Quilting said...

Great finish on a cute quilt and group of adorable hats

Delighted Hands said...

Delightful 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

Jenny K. Lyon said...

Love those hats!!!

Snowcatcher said...

This 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!

Sharon Kwilter said...

I didn't quite get my Yellow finished either. I'm going to let it slip into Friday Night w/Friends.

Susan said...

Very pretty yellow quilt!

Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl said...

Jan'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. :)

The Joyful Quilter said...

Super cute quilt (and hats, too!!)

Sylvia@Treadlestitches said...

Oh, bee joyful! Love the quilt and the theme. And all those wonderful hats!

The Colorful Fabriholic said...

I 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!

Cynthia Brunz Designs said...

Jenny said...

The buzz is out! What a lovely bee quilt, such fun. And a nice collection of warm knitted hats too. Well done.

Deb A said...

What a beeutiful finish you got and I love how you carried the bee theme to the back and in the quilting.

Can you ever have too many bees? Your quilt proves otherwise. So much fun.
