Nine patch bees

Back when I finished up the Blockhead top, I also fussy cut a pile of bee squares from some of the scraps, and I’d started turning them into nine patches.

When this past Sunday dawned grey and rainy, I decided it was a good day to get the remaining ones turned into nine patches.

It took all afternoon, and for some reason it was exceedingly tedious, but at the end of it Burton and I ended up with 35 identical nine patches.

We have a plan for them, but it involves making more blocks. Right now, we’re auditioning fabrics to decide what they will be made out of.

We’re leaning toward the two on the bottom, at the moment, but Burton is notoriously fickle, so who knows what we’ll actually land on!

    But LBB also has notoriously good taste so I’d let him take his time. Meanwhile, I absolutely adore those bee nine-patches. I’m in love with all of the bee fabrics and knick-knacks out in the world right now. Some people it’s owls, others it’s chickens, with me it’s bees!

    Blessings and hugs,
