Lessons Learned…

When making Quilting Bee blocks DON’T try to do raw edge appliqué on the individual block. Maybe I am just inexperienced, but it just did not work out for me. It looks so much better to do it while quilting… I feel so bad that I am having to send my Bee blocks to Aimee unfinished, but luckily she is a sweetheart and was really kind about it. I still think the blocks are going to look great, I just won’t be the one to finish them. Now I am off to do some ripping and cut replacement pieces for the blocks so I can send them on.

I am adding this to a list of lessons learned…

Thanks for not getting upset with me Aimee :)

Not really sure what you mean...are you going to share pictures?? Maybe these are the house blocks?

Sounds like me. LOL That's what's great about quilting, is the fun we have along the way. I know I've been there, and then some, and now yet some. LOL Good luck, dear.

That's good to know! I've never tried on an individual block, but I've been tempted. Your blocks are adorable, either way.
