Bee Rug

I just finished my favorite Mug Rug so far. I have a mug rug pattern using bees and I also have some really cool yellow fabric with bees buzzing all over it.

  

I've made this pattern before with a different center to the star block. This time it's all about the bee's!  

I did some fussy cutting of just the bees and scattered them about the beehive.

I assembled the three different bee designs.

Then I quilted with a meandering pattern that, in my mind, replicates the dance that bees do for each other to direct them to the best flowers.  I finished with a coordinating green with tiny flowers.

And I love it!

    1. That was such a nice call. I do like this mug rug. Each one is different and I enjoy trying to match pattern to the people who get the rug.
