A Finished Bee Quilt

This is my last finish of the year.  These blocks have been sitting in the box for months and needed to become a quilt.  I was trying to figure out some fabulous quilt back, but decided just to take the easy route and used minky instead. 

These blocks were made by the wonderful ladies in our {Sew} Beautiful Bee.  Elizabeth organized our bee a year ago and we're gearing up to start a new round in January--all 11 members are sticking around.  I consider this a quilt from my friends.  I had a chance to meet most of the women in our group at Sewing Summit.  I'm so excited to see what the next year has in store for us.

Lee made this great label for each of us.  It includes names and hometowns (which I blurred).

I asked each member to make a wonky/improv style log cabin block between 12"-16".  I sent everyone an assortment of black and white prints, along with prints from one color.  I am so happy with how they all turned out.  I sashed the blocks in white for a finished size of 18".  The final quilt size is 54" x 72".  I chose to do random straight-line quilting in grey thread.

I detailed who made each block below so I can document and remember.  Thanks so much to each of these great ladies.  I loved putting this together.
