I am definitely in the mood for cleaning. Today I decided to clean up more of my scraps.
This is what I came up with.
Lots of little pieces sewed up in long strips with sparks of half square triangles and sticks laying here and there. It is going to be my Bee Block for 15 Minutes Bee.
Although, it is hardly a block you can sew up in 15 minutes, I learned a lot in the process. Can you imagine making an entire quilt using only bits and pieces? The larges size of a square or a rectangle is 3" long. The longest strip is 4" X 1.5". That would take forever to make a bed size quilt.
Anna Williams and Rosie Lee Tompkins have done that.
With my 15 minutes bee players, I will have one of these.. A bed size quilt!!! I am so excited!

I wish I had a better picture of this quilt. It is really difficult to take a picture of a glossy page of a book.
But, you get the picture!
A great beginning!!!
