Hi Gramtam,
I have a piece of fabric that has bees that look just like the ones that Jo M posted. The bees are on a light blue background. It's maybe 3/4 yard. You might be able to use it in the borders and do a large applique of a bee in the center of the quilt.
I'd post a picture but I'm not sure how as I've never done it before. I could possibly shut down the whole system. :o)
Let me know and I'll try and post it. I have it scanned and stored, so ready to give it a try if you are interested.
