The funny thing is, I feel the same way about matching all those little bitty points! :-D

Love the bees. I've always liked black and yellow and this one strikes my fancy.

The tablerunner is lovely too.

OOPS cut out too much!!

The longest measurement is about 5" and the narrow indent of the core about 3". What size were yours?

It is kind of a fun edge ... and was not hard to bind.

The bees are 10" long, and 4 1/2" or so wide at the narrow part. (I always understood size to be the difference between an axehead and an applecore-axeheads are considerably bigger than an applecore, although they're the same shape. I suspect it's a regional thing, although I've also seen them called Indian hatchets.)

Yes, I think it must be regional .... as is the case for lots of other quilt block names. Likewise you'll find block of certain names, and yet they have no similarity. Indian Hatchet is one where there's different designs.

I love that outer border fabric! The black and gold together are striking! :thumbup:
