I don’t know if anyone remembers, but I posted a picture of this quilt about a month ago.
The lady that made it said it was a free pattern she’d found “somewhere” and she would look for it when she got home and let me know where to find it. It’s called HoneyBell, and here is a link to the pattern.
The pattern sample is done in four fabrics plus a white sashing, and the big blocks are cut 9-1/2” square.
Of course I’m always trying to find different patterns to use my large collection of precuts, so I dug through the boxes and came up with this layer cake.
The quilt finishes at 61” x 61”, and I wanted mine to be longer. Adding an extra row will make it about 76” long so I decided to do that. That means i need 20 blocks instead of 16. I had to cut a few of the smaller squares from my stash, but I found some blenders that would work.
I think I cut about twelve extra 4-1/2” squares. I’m using black for the sashing. Here are the ones I’ve gotten done so far.
No sashing between the blocks yet, but you get the idea. I think I’m going to like it! Let me know what you think if you decide to try it.
