"Bzzzzzz" by Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill
Bzzzzzz was a quilt that Sheri first designed for the Quilt Alliance in 2015 as part of a challenge entitled Animals We Love. Since her husband is a backyard beekeeper, Sheri was inspired by this and other things in her life to create the quilt. It went on to win First Place in the Quilt Alliance challenge and received a lot of notoriety afterward. With its acclaim came people wanting to make it, but Sheri did not have a pattern for it nor had she designed one before. Having documented her process, a year later she released it as a pattern and it has become one of her top sellers.
