And it's finished. I was the bee mama for the FQR honey bees in July 2012, not all blocks came in immediately but I have had sufficient blocks made for about six months. I managed to get it quilted in the few days before leaving for the 2013 Fat Quarterly Retreat and zig zagged the edges of the quilt to take it with me.
It is now bound and has one hanging sleeves, one of which incorporated the siggie squares I received.
As I can't count I had some extra blocks and bits which I pieced into the backing. I also hand stitched the writing on a block to make a label.
One daughter dropped off at the ferry this morning for a school band trip to Paris and Euro Disney. Unfortunately I have a sick husband at home who is missing a free lunch and the Battle of Britain air display. So I guess he must really be ill. Eight of us are meeting here for a few games of canasta tonight and Lizzie ahs left us some nutella cup cakes.
