The Busy Beehive

This stunning quilt-in-progress is by the talented members of the Beehive, a Virtual Quilting Bee on Flickr. This quilt is for my beautiful Bug.

 

The topic is "The Busy Sea at Night", inspired by Teaginny's lovely "Busy Town" quilt. I posted some guidelines on Flickr, and the quilters have done the rest.

Each person is making two small blocks, and as they arrive I am sashing them in deep blue to make a 12" block. There will be 35 blocks in all, arranged five across, seven down, making a king single quilt. 

These blocks have been made by Jo, Sheridan, Andi and me. The other Beehivers are buzzing away, and some other sweet sewing friends have offered to make a block too. We are fortunate to have a wonderful community, and I am very touched by the time and talent our friends are putting in to this special project for me and my Bug.
