Honey Sweet

Here's an adorable quilt for a cute little sweetheart.


Baby quilts are always fun to make, but this one was particularly special since I included fabric given to me by the little one's grandmama.


Soft peachy pink, muted aqua and shiny gold arrows blend well with a light gold batik dot fabric. Hexagons and triangles are arranged in a honeycomb style design.


For quilting, I created a new allover pattern using a curved ruler with light tan thread. I really like the results and will use it again.





Honey Sweet finished at 40” square. It's been done for a while but finally found its way home this past weekend.
