I didn't want this great fabric to go into storage and decided to simply cut out the panel squares and border them with the bee fabric. I machine quilted diagonal lines with the walking foot on, and used masking tape as a guide for spacing the lines.
I'm very happy with look of the black flange tucked in the hexagon binding. It makes a perfect little 13" square wallhanging for the front door.
I'm going to make up some little kits to give to some of the Slow Sunday Stitchers, so if you'd like to make a similar wallhanging, check back here on Sunday for the giveaway to "bee inspired"!
this is just adorable--great idea...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteMy daughter collected bee fabric for a few years. I finally made her a quilt with the fabric when she was in college. She stills has the quilt that many years later. But of course I still have fabric...so I could make a wallhanging too if I win on Sunday!!! haha
ReplyDeleteA fun, cute mini, and a great project after The Bear! I love the word blocks!
ReplyDeleteVery cute mini. I love this bee fabric.
ReplyDeletevery cute, I have a bee quilt to put together. Are you located in Toronto or just outside of the GTA? I live NW of Barrie and have seen and attended many of the hops and relief sales that you have and guilds :)
ReplyDeleteIt's very cute! I have a little collection of bee fabrics--I'm not sure why I'm so attracted to them, because the real ones scare me--lol!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute! What a great mini to hang on your door. A quick finish after the Bear. Sew on!
ReplyDeleteGood advice. You've certainly been a busy bee with all these finishes the last few days. Congrats on another.
