Our January/February queen was Gemma who blogs at Pretty Bobbins (and is also FMQ obsessed - you should definitely check out her amazing quilting skills!) and gave us this Pinterest board for inspiration. I really struggled to decide what to do for a long time, but ended up thinking I'd make some improv cross blocks in rainbow colours. I cut my coloured strips, and then at the very last moment decided to try something a little different, inspired by the amazing mini quilt by Lu Summers in Gemma's board.
Once I got started, I got a little obsessed with getting it done. I know I say this every time I do improv piecing, but it really was SO much fun to make. I think I need to expand on this idea and use up a tonne of my scraps sometime soon...

You definitely need to expand on this!
I love it, and what fun for a bee.
A very cool bee and a very cool block!
You're going in the right direction with those arrows! I like the sound of the way the bee is working, a great idea to use pinterest.

I'm obsessed with your strippy skills!!!
I love the color order but that unmatched center part would drive me crazy :) I guess improv is not for everyone.
Really cool! I love that dark background.
Sounds like a fun bee! Love what you did for it!
