Bee Quilt for Bloggers Quilt Festival . . .


The Bloggers Quilt Festival is being hosted right now at Amy's Creative Side.  This is my second submission, and I'm entering it in the Group/Bee Quilts category. Entries can be nominated for a chance to win some fantastic prizes, so if you like mine, I would be thrilled with a nomination!


This quilt is made using the Hugs & Kisses quilt block tutorial from LittleMissShabby.  I changed the dimensions a bit to have larger finished blocks.  The finished quilt is 62" x 49".  The backing is a flat flannel sheet, and the binding is an orange polka-dot that I had in my stash.


Once again, the Joy circle from Do Good Stitches did a fantastic job on their blocks.  I love being a part of this wonderful group of ladies and seeing the quilts we create every month!  This quilt was given to our local cancer center to be given to a cancer patient.  I hope it brings some warmth and comfort to someone during their difficult struggle and treatments.
