    Default Baby quilt

    This is a baby quilt. The centre block will be the beehive. At each side will be the flower blocks. I have no idea ho to free motion behind the flowers as I did the beehive shape behind beehive. Do any of you ladies have any ideas. Size of blocks is 12 inches square almost .

    I would outline quilt the flower and then add a flight path of a little bee to the flower. Can you find embroidered bees to add to the top? Do you have an embroidery machine that you can add a bee to the block before sandwiching?

    I would echo the flowers and stipple the rest. Look forward to the finished quilt.
