Buzzing Bees

This was my very first quilt! It was a present for my step-mom and dad. I saw these fabrics and fell in love, since they actually have several bee hives in their backyard. I wanted to make something for their camping trailer, so I backed it with jean strips so it could handle possible outdoor use. The final size ended up being 90x90 I believe, large enough to also fit on their camper's queen size bed. This quilt was a challenge to me, since I had to learn all about partial seams. Thank goodness for YouTube! As I made the quilt, it kept getting larger and larger, and I had to go back multiple times for more fabric. It was quite the learning experience. I tried to quilt it on my domestic machine, but at the time it was an older one, and way too small. So I took it to a local quilter for meandering. And as you can see in the pictures, it has been dog approved! ;)
