Bee Quilts

I am in quite a few bees and swaps which means I have lots of blocks laying around waiting to be made into quilts.

This past weekend I managed to put 2 tops together ready for quilting.

First is a simple nine patch quilt in pretty blues and greens.

This is for one of my nieces who fell in love with this cushion I made for her last year.

Sometimes the simple things in life are often the best.  I love the freshness and simplicity of this quilt and I think this will blend in nicely.

Next I used half of my paper pieced star bee blocks to make this quilt for a co worker who has just had a baby boy 5 weeks premature.

I am hoping to get this quilted in time for the baby to come home but l am stuck for inspiration.
I thought about custom quilting each individual star, then I decided to do the background all the same and maybe highlight some of the features of each star but now I just don't know.
Anyone have any ideas??

I have 12 stars left over so I think I am going to make a few more so that I have enough for a quilt for my husband.  This colourway was his suggestion and despite my initial reservations I love how they play together so I want to reward him for that!

But it will have to wait.  I have 9 flimsy's (not counting the above) that are patiently waiting to be turned into quilts and I am determined to get a least some of them completed before I start another project.  Well that's the plan this week anyway.

Until next time.
