Bee Quilt!

Here it is! My bee quilt in completion. I've been working on this on and off since February. This is my second quilt. The first was a baby quilt made from a quilt kit. This one I made from reading a lot of quilting books and online articles and by spending a number of conversations with my mom on Skype asking, "Is this right?" and "what do you suggest I do here?" type questions. I'm pretty happy with it. Looking at it, I feel like I accomplished what I wanted when I first bought the material last fall. I wanted the bee fabric featured. And I wanted the back material to become the frame of the front. I know it isn't perfect and I still have a lot to learn about sewing and quilting, but I feel good about this.
