This poor little quilt had been sitting in my UFO pile for months. The top was made in July 2010 with the help of the lovely ladies in my Bee Vintage Group.
But now it's finally Finished!! Yay!
Isn't it pretty?!
This is my first bee quilt, and though I had some issues to work through I will definitely do another bee in the future.

Renae found this beautiful blue bias striped sheet (say that 10 times fast...) for the binding. It was supposed to be for one of these quilts, but I stole it instead. :) The soft blue goes perfectly with the colors in the stars. The yellow gingham is a sheet I bought months ago, thinking I would use it for the back.
This quilt sat for so long while I figured out what I wanted to put on the back. I had a few options in my stash but nothing was perfect. Finally after I had resigned myself to using what I had, I found this striped sheet. In my mind it is perfect!
Now that I've decided to do a vintage room for my girls, I'm thinking this quilt will live out it's days hanging on their wall.
