I have finallllllly finished the binding on my bee collage! It’s only been over a year in the making . I don’t know why, but the binding (which was just good ol’ regular binding, not even on a full sized quilt) was such a challenge. After running into issues a year ago, I set it aside and have been meaning to get back to it since. Ironically, it continued to give me challenges and I had to rip the seams at least 3 more times in the past few days. But, I persevered and it is finally done.
I’ve been having a lovely time this afternoon reading through this thread and seeing all your beautiful projects! Now that I’ve got more creative time, and I’m not doing my old job anymore, I think it’s about time I joined in
My goals for the second quarter of 2023
make a lap quilt using the steampunk fabric Mr Jemimah picked out at a little local store a couple of weeks ago + the rest from stash (I think a compass design)
make something using the natural + red print fabrics that have been calling to me
finish one of the projects I started ages ago from my Yoko Saito books (they are so beautiful, but so time-intensive)
We’ve just over a day and a half until the Peek Behind The Curtains Challenge closes! I just know some of you have made some quilitiness that you have not given their own topic. Please share with us before Midnight on April 19 2023, US Pacific Time.
Yay @magpie and @aimr, I would say you both completed this month’s prompt!
@Renstar, your quilt looks so colorful and fun! I do not like hand sewing and commend you for doing it! Did you sew the binding by hand? Lol, When I read ‘now to get it over to my brother,’ I thought you meant your brother sewing machine and was wondering what you have left to do. Then I realized, ohhh, she meant she’s taking it to her actual sibling, lol.
You should definitely submit this as a personal finish, just let me know if it’s small, medium, or large and I’ll add it to the prize drawing.

I really like those neutral geometrics against the colorful squares. Beautifully done
OOO look at this block, do we have a May block, or maybe a later month? I feel like I am over nominating . https://www.ladybugthreads.com/snail-trail-block-of-the-month/
And I marionberries , submit this as my April BOM entry.
I went with a wonky log cabin because I always wanted to do a wonky log cabin. I did two because I didn’t like the red and green one much, but the rainbow one hit the mark. They both will go in the scrap quilt that is currently sitting in a box.
