Susan's inspiration was this black and white photo of an old Welsh Quilt
Of course Susan has changed it to suit her style, I think there will be five appliqué blocks and four pieced and then a border.
The pattern can be found on her website HERE
Susan is mailing the patterns without fabric each month, which makes it very economical, I have had enormous fun digging through my scrap boxes for the pieces. Blocks one and two are basted ready to stitch. I don't have enough of the focus fabric, so each of my centres will be different. I plan to embroider my initials and the year on the beekeeper block.
that is so pretty, I have not heard of that pattern I will go take a look
