Quilting bee (and ants)

I did a little bit of bee (or is that ant?) sewing yesterday.

Amy's quilt for the SewConnected 3 bee is a picnic quilt and she sent the cutest ant and picnic blanket fabrics, with some solid-ish ones thrown in. She mentioned that she liked applique, so I figured I'd throw some in there.

Hope you like it Amy!

Applique detail (I really did not want this to come off in the wash...):

For my first Black and White Quilt Challenge project, which I finally found some inspiration for.

If my inspiration pans out, it'll also be a Project Improv project.
