An Inspired Bee...Wanna Join Me?

I recently bought a copy of this book:

I know you all have seen it.  If you haven't gotten a copy yet, you're going to want to.  I have been reading, re-reading and getting inspired on every page.  I couldn't decide where to start.  I have made a couple of small ticker tape quilts and am loving playing with my scraps.

Now here's where the Bee inspiration comes in.  I started making a couple of slabs, which for those of you who haven't seen the book yet, is a chunk of fabric made up of lots of little scraps.  This. is. so. cool!!  Then I got to thinking "I wonder what kinds of scraps other quilter have and what their slabs would look like?"

I want to organize a Bee to make 10 1/2 inch square slabs that can then be made into a quilt.  The slabs are usually all one colorway of scraps.  I am thinking we make a color of the month, two blocks each and then we swap with each other.  I am still trying to work out the details, but I need at least 7 other people besides myself to play along.  We can go as high as 16 people.  If you are interested, leave me a comment saying so.

This is a picture of 2 slabs I made in less than 30 minutes out of blues in my scrap bin.  Doesn't that inspire you?

I have emailed Amanda Jean and Cheryl to get permission to use the technique in their book.  I have heard back from Amanda Jean so I am going forward with the planning.  I hope you all want to play with me.  This could be the beginning of something really fun.  C'mon, let's go!!
