Bee Patriotic Sew Along, week 1

I'm so excited to be making the Bee Patriotic quilt.

As I've mentioned before, 

everything that Lori Holt does is so much fun!

I purchased a few fat quarters to add 

to my Lori Holt collection of fabric.

Here's my selection of reds and pinks.

Here are my navys and aquas.

Here's my background, sashings and border fabric.

I'm going to be using a red border 

instead of a navy one.

I have a confession to make...

I made these blocks ahead of the sew along, 

because we had company visiting.

I didn't use the same fabrics as Lori used,

but my color values are the same.

Are any of you sewing along too?
