Bumble Bees In Flight Quilt

 It must be Spring

because I have been drawn 

to quilts

sharing the theme of

bumble bees

lately.

 Bumble Bees In Flight 

by Clarene O. Smith

was on display at the

Arizona Quilter's Guild Show

 I really like Clarene's use 

of yoyo clusters through out the quilt.

Very striking  

3-D effect

 set against the black background.

"This quilt is scrap yo yo's, 

miscellaneous squares,

and leaves, 

and my first attempt at machine track quilting"

 I think another reason I really liked this quilt

is because the layout is very unique

and quite different than anything I've seen before.

 The yo yo's along the bottom

form a hexagon shape.

A very original look.

I'm not sure how Clarene came up with the name 

for her quilt,

but I can tell you that

as I stood there viewing her work,

I kept humming

parts of
