Free Bee for October

Free Bee Block for Dan completed.

I ended up placing the circles at an angle and I'm not quite sure if that was the right move or not.

 But what's done is done. 
 
 
 
As you can see the "block" and I use that term loosely just sort of kept growing. It ended up being 34" x 14"or something like that.

Dan just gave us way to much freedom and of course true to form I got carried away.

    I am sooooo glad you put those circle stripes on an angle. It adds a lot of movement to the piece. Have you considered arranging the circles randomly across the "block"? That might be interesting for the next piece. And thank-you very much for the great circle tutorial. I have just purchased the book Circle Play and have circles on the brain at the moment. Your tutorial is a perfect case of synchronicity in action. Hugs, Diane

    I think the angles look great. Inspires me--I hope to graduate to circles someday! (I am a beginner quilter.)
