Scrap Sunday - My Bee Beautiful Quilt

Welcome to the second Scrap Sunday.  Every Sunday I'll be posting what I'm doing in scrapbooking... or what scrappy quilt I'm working on.  If you are working on Project Life, scrapbooking, or a scrappy quilt please link up at the end of this post.

I had planned on showing you I'm using Project Life to catch up on scrapbooking, but instead I'm going to show you a scrappy quilt I worked on yesterday.

Back in June of 2010 I sent out the following piles of fabric to the members of Bee Beautiful along with directions on the type of drunk love inspired blocks I wanted.

I don't have a good reason for not finishing this quilt back in 2010.  I got busy... and it ended up being put neatly in a bin with all the additional scraps.  My Bee members made 22.5 blocks so I didn't have much left to do at all.  I was inspired yesterday to pull it out and finish it.  I made the additional 2.5 blocks. {Natalie made a half block with the scraps she had & I finished it.}

 I spent most of yesterday on this quilt.  I cut & added the sashing and borders.  I used Aqua Kona Crush.  Robert Kaufman isn't making Kona Crush any longer so I'm glad I saved enough for the quilt!  {I had put it away with the blocks... woo hoo for being organized!}

...and now the quilt top is done!

I'm SO happy with it.

 Since this quilt also matches my new room... I think I'm going to have to rotate using my new Come What May quilt with this one.

Each of the Bee members also made a siggy block.  I pieced them all together inside of navy quilter's linen.  This is the start of the back.  I'm not sure what my plan is for the rest of the back yet...

This is my leftover pile of Neptune scraps.  I might incorporate more of them into the backing, or I might just save them for another project.

I even have the binding ready.  It is made from leftover Jelly Roll strips & was actually a present from Allison.  Years ago we both were hooked on Neptune at the same time and she created way too much binding... close to double of what she needed for a Neptune quilt and decided to give it to me!  Thanks Allison! :-)  I miss you!!

If you want to show something scrappy you are working on leave a link in the comments.  I'm running late this morning & can't get the widget working... once I get it fixed I'll add your links.
