Who knew I would get this surprise push to quilt up those tops I put together last year? I thought they would languish on the hangers for a decade. Then along came the Villa Rosa Designs challenge to finish 6 quilts in 6 weeks. I have a weakness for taking on a self-challenge.
Originally, I thought I would be making these quilts from scratch until .................. I remembered these tops. Well I have made 3 new Villa Rosa patterns for this challenge, but I also had 3 Honey Bouquet tops just waiting in the wings to be finished.
So, for week 5 I quilted up this darling top made with the Honey Bouquet pattern. It is all flannel pieces and the backing is also flannel. I used a Pellon 80/20 batting and an Omni buttery yellow thread quilted with loopy loops for a fun and quick finish. The binding is also flannel.
Here is the back .....
I'm sharing my finish on Villa Rosa Designs facebook page and also joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

The challenge is good on you, bravo on the shrinking pile of quilts waiting to be quilted! This one is lovely, bright and sweet colors. Fun quilting swirls too! Thank you for sharing this cozy little finish and linking up.
ReplyDeleteVery nice finish. Thanks for a reminder I should check my stash of flannels. I don't use them much as I think they are too warm where I live. But, honestly, I wouldn't be making cute baby quilts for myself. Duh. Will check out that box of flannels...I love the Honey Bouquet pattern but haven't used mine yet. Soon....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish and one more UFO is complete!
ReplyDeleteI've worked with flannel in quilts a few times, and you are a brave quilter! Especially binding! A lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteHi Kat, it's great that you were able to get caught up on quilting UFOs in this challenge - you obviously like Villa Rosa's patterns! I love the pretty swirls you used to FMQ it! Thanks so much for linking up to I Quilted This!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read six quilts in six weeks, I gulp. I'm lucky to make six quilts in a year. You make it look doable, though. Congratulations on reaching the half way point.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute!! I like that the fabric blocks are larger so they show off the print!
