Work in Progress Wednesday

I received these bee blocks awhile ago from my Wonky Quilt Bee friends.  I'd send them scraps of colored fabrics and the same brown print for the tree trunk.  The task was to make appliqued trees.  They came back so awesome!

Since this year is about finishing projects, I'm just now getting around to finishing this quilt.  So far, I've managed to complete the quilt top.  It's amazing.  

I used Kona Teal for the shashing.  I know you're supposed to use a neutral color for the sashing, but I wanted each block to pop out and the only way to do that was to use a darker color.  Blue seemed like the perfect choice. 

I'm hoping to be able to quilt it later this week.  We'll see about that progress!

It's a small quilt, 42 1/2" square.  The plan is to use it as a wall hanging in our living room.  I can't wait to add it to our wall!
