This quilt was begun almost exactly two years ago by my good friends who participated in the Boston Modern Quilt Guild bee block exchange. I finally finished it this past weekend!
It took me about one week to do this jagged/puzzle piece type of straight line quilting. I used my walking foot and simply started at the top of the quilt and moved the quilt around to create a geometric/boxy random type of pattern. It was a little tedious sometimes but worth it I think.
Participants in the Flickr Hip to Bee Square group also contributed to this quilt. I also ended up making several myself, in order to have a 5 x 5 layout.
The quilt measures 63" x 63".
I backed and bound this quilt with some Urban Garden fabric I've had in my stash for a while.

A big thanks to all those who contributed blocks for this quilt! I am so pleased to have this finished and it's a great size for lounging under on the couch.

OMG LAURIE I AM DYING!!! it looks so good. I loved making these blocks, and have been waiting patiently to see this all come together. The quilting is perfect and I love the backing you picked too!!
WOW! What a beautiful quilt!! You definitely have more patience to put something like this together than I do!! HAHA! I'm doing a 1" by 1" square scrap quilt and I've only gotten through ONE block of it! ;-)
Plus, I love purple...so that makes me love this quilt just that much more ;-) Thank you for sharing this!
I love how this came out!
I did a very similar block for my quilt bee and I am torn between adding sashing and not - can you tell me a bit why you decided to do it without sashing? The original Oh, Fransson quilt has some great negative space in it - but I can't decide! Argh!
