Gridster Bee Blocks

For the month of June, I was the queen bee our Gridster Bee.  It was such fun to see blocks arriving in the mail all month.  Having them all assembled together, I can now show you my finished top.

This was a free block from Wombat Quilts.  In finishing it, I created a border that completed the stars.  My beemates were incredible in that each member made not one, but two blocks each.  The quilt came together so quickly with the additional blocks.

We are now creating blocks for our August queen.  These were such fun to make and I love her block choice.

    That top is soooo amazing. Now can you give us some tips on how you created those borders? They really "make" the quilt, and send it to the next level. Your Gridster Bee blocks look great--inspiration for us all!

    Your quilt top looks terrific! I was wondering if you had any issues with different sized blocks, but I guess as they are paper-pieced that wouldn't be an issue? I really can't imagine how you ended up with full stars in matching colours, though!

    The June Gridster Bee quilt came together beautifully. It's amazing that blocks came from so many but go together so well. The August blocks look like a fun one too. I wonder how she will finish it?
