Bloom - a quilting bee quilt

This summer I managed to finish this quilt from my time (May 2019-April 2020) in the #birthdaywishesbee on Instagram! For my month as queen, I asked for drunkard's path units of purples or blues with low volume backgrounds. This way I could mix around everyone's units and blend them together more cohesively across the quilt.

I love this Kaffe 'fan' print, and lovelovelove how well it coordinates with the colors!

For quilting, I did some echo arcs inside each of the partial circles, in coordinating Aurifil 40 wt. threads. In the background, I used a light purple variegated thread in a stipple design. Binding is hand finished to the back, and the quilt measures 59”w x 68”h.

Many thanks to my bee mates for their help in creating this ever blooming quilt!
