Chevron Quilt!

Yay!  My husband has a new quilt!  He requested

Red, Black, Gray and White..

long enough to be up under his chin &

down over his toes! 

I think I did it! This fits the bill!

"Honey Honey" pattern testing

Esther @ ipatchandquilt put out a call for pattern testers

for her new pattern called

"Honey Honey"

Its a paper pieced honeycomb pattern...its very cool!

I did the 20" pillow size...heres the front...

                                  and heres the back:

It was a pretty straightforward and easy pattern to do.

She has great instructions and shading on her

pattern pieces that really help the process

go more smoothly.  

Thanks for letting me test this for you Esther!

can also link to her store and more of her great patterns!

So one of my bosses at work is a new Grandma, so the girls I work with put me to work making a quilt for the new grandbaby....thing is, its a girl and since her daddy is a firefighter, they wanted a girly firetruck/fire fighter themed quilt...took a little bit of thinking on my part, but after finding this great paper piecing pattern on Craftsy from "Quiet Play", I had an idea in my head and I was all set!!

A Pink & Purple Firetruck!
