BEE HIVE GIVES QUEEN BLOCKS

I haven't been able to get to the Attic Window Quilt Shop for over a week, so I don't have any pictures from the groups there to share with you.  However, I did go to my Modern Bee Hive the other night.  I was Queen Bee and above are the blocks given to me by others in the Hive.  I think this will make a stunning quilt.  I just need to decide on sashing and if I want to add more blocks.  I can't wait to get these blocks put together.  These ladies really made some beautiful blocks.
Greta was previously Queen Bee and she has her blocks all put together into this beautiful top waiting to be quilted.  I can't wait to see it quilted.

I don't think I would sash it, that would take away from the flow. I think making more blocks would work better. But then, oops! You didn't ask me!

These are lovely, colorful and very bright and cheery quilts. For yours, no sashing is needed. The way you have it laid out is perfect. It makes the eye move all over the quilt to see all of the colors and to follow the design. It is beautiful!

Have a super great sewing and stitching week. Hope this is a calmer and much better week for you.

I really love your blocks Missy Queen Bee! I almost agree with the two previous comments. More blocks, yes, but I would continue with a very narrow white sashing that mimics the one within each block. The star quilt is a beauty as well.
