2013 Bead It Forward Bead Quilt Squares

I am so happy to announce that we had a total of 84 bead squares go to Bead and Button for the 2013 Bead It Forward Bead Quilt project and auction that benefits breast cancer research. This year, the theme was "Blooming to Find a Cure." The rules were to bead a tiny, 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" area onto a 2" x 2" square of stabilizer and, although you could use any bead technique, it had to include a flower or flowers.

This is just a small sampling of the squares that were created. To see the entire set, go to the HBS website by clicking HERE.
