This is the amazing center block I got to start out with for Robin’s quilt! It is truly as stunning in person as it is in this photo. I am always amazed at the quality of work she does. Everything is always perfect, from the piecing to how all the seams are ironed in back. It made it a little intimidating at first, lol.

I really did not want to take the eye away from the center block quite yet, so I tried to mimic some of the existing lines and make the eye slowly move outward.

Here is what I will be sending off to Hermione J Schwartz.

If you would like to see what others are doing for this bee, here is a link to the Flickr group.
