This was a year long project. We met at The Honey Bee quilt store once a month for a year. We did not know what the quilt would look like until the year was half over, and then we only saw parts of the quilt. We all used our own fabric. I chose Bound to the Prairie and Bound to the Prairie II by Kansas Troubles for most of the quilt. I had two charm packs, a layer cake, and some yard pieces of the background. I added more fabric as I need it. I was always on the hunt for more fabric in the right colors. All the blocks were designed by different people. It was so much fun to make.
