IG Honeybee Finished Quilt Tops
All of this calendar year we have been participating in a beehive group called the IG Honeybee. Each month a ‘queen’ asks the beehive participants to make a particular block using her color palette. These blocks have run the gamut but several of them have been the Fizzy block. Three times we have made the block in a variety of colors. All three have utilized black with a white accent, and florals of different sizes have been requested. We’re starting to get very fond of ‘ole Fizzy at this point!
Barbara’s Fizzy Quilt Top
Barbara’s Fizzy Quilt Top
This is Barbara‘s version of her quilt top using the Fizzy blocks (link for the block) she received from her beehive mates. At first, I didn’t even see or recognize our blocks, but there they are in the first row on the right. She grouped similar flower colors together and those circles really POP, don’t you think? The black and white pedals slightly recede to my eyes with the white stars shining brightly. It is just amazing to me that twenty blocks from other quilters can mesh together so nicely. Sweet!
Jen’s Ripples Quilt Top
Jen’s Ripples Quilt Top
Jen‘s quilt top that she made for her daughter really inspired us. This quilt top uses the Ripples block that we requested as our October choice. I cannot find our three blocks in this lovely quilt top. Providing continuity is the cacti center block that you barely focus on. Isn’t this just the best?! I’m sharing one of the blocks we made for Jen along with our October block in the same pattern with a link to make your own.
I love the way Jen mixed up the blocks with those corner points coming together seemingly randomly. She may have had a plan but she didn’t mention it and it isn’t obvious like Barbara’s. I’m excited to be able to whip up a quilt top soon. It’s possible it might just be complete for this holiday season. Hmm, that sounds like a November OMG project doesn’t it?! Boom. Mike drop. It was hard to choose only ONE featured photo this month – I love both quilt tops but Fizzy is calling. Neither Barbara or Jen have a blog but each of them has an Instagram account.

The floral “centers” really make that first quilt. It’s always fun to see how bee blocks come together.
Wow! That Fizzy Block Top is gorgeous!!!
Pretty quilt that Jen did!
They worked out so well, what a great idea.
Both tops are fantastic! How fun to find your own blocks! Happy Quilting! 🙂
Wow – I never would have pictured how the fizzy quilt comes together! How fun to have quilts created by so many talented folks!
They are al fun! Whatever you finish is going to be beautiful. You don’t make ugly quilts. =)
Thanks for sharing the quilts! I love those circles and curves!
So much fun to see the bee quilts together! I do love them both…for different reasons. I love the graphic design and circles in Fizzy. The other quilt is a perfect with the square and diamond patterns that emerge amongst the stars.
Wow both of those quilts are awesome. I guess I should work on finishing up my Honey bee quilt from 2018. Unfortunately our beehive went its separate ways, but man it was fun.
Both those quilt tops look so great. I haven’t even put mine together yet. Other projects (squirrels!) keep taking priority! Have a great day, Mary.
Barbara’s quilt is just delicious isn’t it! And your black and red October block is going to make one sharp Christmas quilt!
Both quilts are gorgeous!
Finding your blocks in a bee hive quilt…the new Where’s Waldo game 🙂 Both of those quilts are so pretty! You and Sue are now experts on that Fizzy block. I would have been scared to death to tackle those curves.
So fun to see the quilts! Thanks for sharing them! 🙂
