Scrappy Trips Quilt Blocks

 Our Queen Bee 

Sherri McConnell (A Quilting Life)

started our new year together

as Bees Knees

by hosting this month.

 Sherri sent us fabric and the free tutorial link to

Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville

Scrappy Trips Around The World

quilt block.

I have made this quilt 

and knew how easy the blocks come together.

Won't this quilt be darling in

 bright and happy 

Christmas fabrics?

Sherri had us put the white fabric down the center of each blocks

which gives Scrappy Trips a new look.

Several people have asked me how

our Bee works.

There are 12 in our group.

We each are assigned a month to "host".

On our month we select a quilt block

we would like the 11 others to make.

We mail the fabric with block instructions

to our Bees Knees members 

who live through out the United States.

They make the block and mail it back to the host.

Through it all we write about our 

experience and post pictures over on our

Bees Knees Quilting Bee Blog

We have a lot of fun together

and it's kind of like quilting with

your girlfriends

even when we live in 

various locations.
