Hive 2 May and June

Hive 2 Block for May - Finally Done  AND and June's done already!!!!

May Hive 2 Block

My May block is late because while I thought I had the right color background fabric, it turns out I did not and had to special order it off the internet.  My apologies and I felt so guilty that I even finished June's block today also and both will be going out in the mail on Monday.....that is if I don't redo June's block before I make it to the mailbox. 





June Hive 2 Block
June's block was my first attempt at paper piercing.  While glad to learn this new skill, I am definitely rough on it.  It took me three hours to do not including watching several different videos on the methodology. I am probably making it way harder than it should be so I will try it again and see if I can do better.  I do wish some of my hive lived close to me in Michigan so I could get some advice on what I am doing wrong.  May have to find a class at my LQS on this. 

For this quilt piece, I was sorta thinking of crystals randomly floating in space while doing it so I hope that came across.
