Mid-Century Modern Bee Quilt

August was my month for the Mid-Century Modern Bee and I asked everyone to send completely PINK x & + block since I knew there were two granddaughters on the way.

It took me a while looking at them, rearraging them on my design board, adding and taking away sashing until I came up with this:

I wish you could see all the individual fabrics in this quilt in person:

The quilt is for baby Cecelia (Lia) Elizabeth who arrived last Thursday:

She is a little dolly and grandchild number SIX for us. We are bless to have one more arriving in March!

One last photo - our view this morning over the lake:

Have a good week.
