I wanted to interpret the thumbnail image somewhat literally, (I really enjoyed Victoria's version) so I started free-piecing the left side first, then recreating the right side of the painting...
Then I went back and free-pieced the center section, pulling two additional yellow/gold solids from my solids stash to get a little more variety in my pigment. The bright lemon yellow and the duller maize yellow in this pic came from my stash:So again here is the inspiration painting, and my finished block....
So what do you think, Bee Block or Art Quilt?
P.S. I'm going to wait a few days to mail this to you, Andrea...July is my month and I've changed my idea about seven times...now I may have to change it again! I'll return your block and leftover fabric with your July package!
