Finished the top of the last quilt, and started on a new one today.
I got the panel by mistake; I ordered a pansy panel, and the gal shipped this bee panel by mistake; she had the pre-cut coordinates  on clearance, so I ordered those (and she shipped my pansy panel).  I have lots of the coordinates, but this is just a start, and I'm not sure how big I may or may not go with it.  It may be just this big or I have enough of the rectangles to go another round.

Oh, it's VERY pretty.  The bee panel is very nice, and the colors soothing!  Beautiful!

Thank you.  It's not something I'd normally buy, but it is ending up as a pleasant mistake.

If you are willing to part with it, I'd love to have it, if you add another row of the rectangles that you said you have, as you know the size I'm very fond of, and this one is just so pretty, I'm not going to give it to anyone but me.

Let me know, as it's so pretty and the colors just calming.  ~~Diane

I'm sure we can arrange that, but it'll take me a little while to get it finished, as I'm backed up on tops for quilting.   I'm pretty sure I have enough rectangles to make another complete trip around the outside.  I'll have to do some measuring, but I'm pretty sure I can make it lap size (couch throw size).  I have a yellow for binding that coordinates.

Sounds wonderful, and no rush, since it's just for ME!

Almost as far as I can go with the top, until the new fabric arrives, needed one more print to make it work out pretty.  It'll be the end of the week, at least, before I get the new piece of fabric; pray for nice weather and roads, so the  mailman can make rounds. 
We're snowed in again, after yesterday's wind storm, it was something else.  Shayne is plowing out our driveway, as he needs to be able to get out, so he can get parts for the snowblower.  ::)

Boy, would I like to take a give you a few of our degrees so we can cool down and you can warm up.  It's in the 80's here during the day and in the 60's at night which is too warm!  We are going to have a few days of rain this week during the daytime, which I hate.  I love the rain at night but it's not to be this week.

Stay warm!!

Top is done, just need to quilt it.
I think it probably fully covers the top of the full-size bed plus a little, but I have stuff at the top of the bed, so couldn't get a pic all on the bed.

Thank you.   I did have a little help, it's a coordinated fabric collection from a company called Henry Glass; the fabric collection is called "Sew Bee It".

This one is for me, I just gathered all the blues in my stash plus a few pieces of old inventory, and I'm trying a technique called quilt as you go, and so far, not a huge fan, but it'll get me a queen size for my bed and I'll probably not ever do this again.   Here are 20 of 100 blocks.
