I didn't plan it, but I think I was influenced by reading this very very lovely book "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd when I designed this block for June, for my 2014-quilt.

ah, this girl goes quite a long way from anguish and horror to finding friends, and a real home, and ultimately a soft spot within herself. I so much love such stories!!
This is my quilt-top so far then (January - June):
