This is my 2012 Brit Bee quilt, made by 12 women, who joined an online bee early 2012 as complete strangers. We are all now firm friends, who can laugh, cry, moan, and eat heartily together!
I set a Log Cabin theme for the blocks, and asked folks to personalise the centre of their blocks, with a favourite fabric, some embroidery etc. Like any self-respecting parent, I don't have favourites, I love how each and every block reveals something of their maker, but it has made photographing it fairly quite a challenge! Apologies in advance if I haven't managed to get everyone's block photographed.
Yesterday, I talked about the circular quilting I decided on. I'm delighted with how it turned out!

| A Brit Bee! How cute is that! |
To say that this quilt will be very, very special to me for a long time, is probably an understatement! Can you tell how much I love it!!
Thank you ladies for being so inspiring, encouraging,
I can't wait to get my 2013 Brit Bee quilts finished!

ReplyDeleteThis is truly special - how lovely to have a little piece of everyone's personality sewn onto the quilt. And I love the back and how it's quilted. Truly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love how each block is personalised, rather than all the same....and I guess lovely friendships for years to come.
ReplyDeleteA truly awesome quilt. Such a lovely reminder of great friendships :)
ReplyDeleteSo them and so very you Jude - now curl up and enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome...both the front and the back are beautiful! What a treasured quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI love the appearance of spiral quilting. It's become the in thing recently. I did it for the first time in January, but found it time consuming and a pain in the bum. I did a spiral instead of concentric circles and in a dumb moment went the wrong direction! So, the size of the quilt going through the throat of the machine got bigger instead of smaller! Doh! But, the quilting does look wonderful and I'll try it again, going the other way next time!
ReplyDeleteReally love it Jude, and the quilting is awesome. Yay!
