Honey Honey Quilt

I'm super happy to finally have this quilt finished.  I had purchased a dessert roll of Honey Honey by Katie Spain over a year ago.  I found this Cobblestone Path Quilt pattern by Pauline Francis at the Moda Bake Shop.  Pauline has three versions of this quilt using different fabrics and one of them was done in Honey Honey.  It was so pretty I knew I had to make my own version.  When I read the directions I realized I would be able to make a bigger quilt than the pattern so I made some adjustments and added additional rows and columns.

I can't say enough of how much I love Kate Spain's designs.  The floral prints are so gorgeous in this collection.  My favorite is the navy floral, which worked really well as the border fabric.  It was a great contrast to the Moda Bella Solids Off-White fabric that I used for the sashing.  I had it quilted locally on a long-arm in an all over loop and flower pattern to go with the fabric collection.

This is definitely a keeper...feels good to finish something for myself.

Scrappy Potholders

These are some fun scrappy log cabin potholders I put together to practice free motion quilting swirls.  They have a layer of Insul-Bright in them and a layer of Warm and Natural batting as well.  The scraps are from Kate Spain, Amy Butler, and Anna Maria Horner.
