Bee Haven Project Hop

 I am so excited to be part of the Bee Haven Project Hop! Bee Haven is the new collection by Rachel Rossi for Benartex, and I have been in love with these prints from the first time I saw them! (psst...keep reading to the bottom for a chance to win!)

I love the color palette - Twilight, Plum, Gold and Aqua - the colors just speak to me. And the prints - those large daisies are so fun, and then there's the hexagon print, cool butterfly patterns (what great tonals!), and so much more! And check out the panel - isn't it gorgeous?!?!

I knew right away that I wanted to use these fabrics to create a wall hanging version of my Twister pattern. I could use those large floral prints in the block centers and create two different colored blocks that would show off all those coordinates. 

This block is my favorite. 

Or maybe this one...? I can't decide! 

The colors all work together so beautifully!

I took the quilt to the Historic Bridge Park near my house, which features a variety of old train bridges. The colors were perfect to help me show off both Bee Haven and Twister. These blocks finish at 19", so four of them make a nice sized wall hanging (or table topper) and 12 of them make a great lap quilt. Find the Twister pattern here.
