She used a turnover and part of a honey bun. I had neither, so I had to make my own.
I used my scraps I got from Texas (you remember don't you? Come on....remember?) Oh well....so I used up this scrap bag I got, I truly love the colors but.... I really wanted some reds and greens but didn't have what I needed....so I just made do.
I also, made a ton of mistakes.....my hour glasses were about an inch shy of what she had so my quilt is smaller...she had not added her border yet either. Trust me, if you have the turnover and honeybun, this would have gone alot smoother than it did for me. At one point I was going to throw it away...so I went and laid down....got up about 30 minutes later.....read a book and then back to the grind....and this is what I came up with.
This pattern will be available soon at Inchworm fabrics. It truly is a very versitile quilt.....
I really had intended to finish that Jiffy Jelly roll quilt, I even have a backing for it, maybe tonight I will sandwich it????

I just love it! Your niece did a great job designing. I am going to scroll through your posts and look at some more of your wonderful creations! How inspiring you are! ~karen
Oh that's so pretty!
Oh that's so pretty!!
You crack me up....walk away is always good a nap better to clear the mind. Looks great Barb!
Once I got a close look at the fabric, I loved it! The black and yellow with just a dot of red is really pretty! Looks like what a Mary Englebright fabric might be.
Incredibly creative pattern, and a striking version in yellow black!
I think the quilt came out loverly!! No mistakes, just learning experiences LOL.

PS - I just love that giraffe quilt in the previous post :0)
The little quilt looks great. 'Making do' is part of our heritage from our maternal ancestors, so you did just what you should have.
Great quilt Barb! But when do you sleep?
Looks good, Barb. Glad you didn't throw it out :o) I'd like to get that pattern - do you know how soon it will be out?

Very nice job, I just don't know how you do it all and sooooo fast! I have my blocks all sewn together and now on to the borders.
Now if someone likes bumble-bees as their baby theme, black and yellow/gold would be perfect!!! I think you did a good job....but I know the pre-cuts are so nice to work with as they save a lot of time!
I love that pattern and I love the way it looks with yellow and black. Very impressive.
I like your version with the black and yellow. It is amazing how different yours and your nieces look based on fabric colors. Both look great but very different from each other.
I have been so swamped I just now had a chance to look at all my favorite blogs. Just wanted to say hey.
Wow, you both have such talent, great quilt super design!!
I love the quilt...black and yellow are very striking!

Love it, the two patterns go well together. How got their talent from who? LOL
I am so glad you decided to hang in there...I just love it. I've always had a thing for yellow with black or black with yellow. Also have a thing for blue and gold or blue and yellow...I have a thing for a LOT of color combinations!
Hi Barb! Just love your quilt. Simply beautiful and the colors are great!
