2016 Finish: Honey Honey

At some point in the past, I may have given this quilt a cutesy name. However it's been so damn long that I don't actually remember what I called it.


The fabric is Kate Spain's Honey Honey from, oh, 2013? 2014? And the cream is (I think) Bella Solids (but I don't remember the colour). That's how long ago I did it, and how little I remember of it!

It's been sitting around with a backing and a batting for ages, and I simply didn't get to quilting it. I wanted to quilt it myself because of the large amounts of negative space, except...time. And opportunity. And a whole bunch of other things. Not least of which I decided that, having made this, I didn't actually like the fabric and colour choices anymore...

I am, however, quite proud of the quilting:


So, it's done, it's bound, and I have to work out what to do with it. Possibly give away as a gift? I feel kind of bad giving something away that I'm not satisfied with, even if it's a question of style and taste, and not one of quality.

Linking up to the 2016 Finish-Along!

Honey Honey

Completed top in two weeks! Two layer cakes, a nice, simple design, and a lesson learned:

Don't use 'snow' solids with pastels. It just makes everything fade.

Will & Lily Baby Quilt

For the daughter of some friends from church - baby Madelyne, who's nearly three months old.

It's going to be a split nine-patch.

This one may be a crazy rush job - I'm seeing them for lunch on Saturday and hope to get the quilt made by then. Maybe. :)
