Received the following goodies from Veronica Conner, in The Quilting Bee BOM Chocolate & Charm Swap. It can’t be more right, fabric and chocolate. I received Hershey Caramel Kisses, which is one of my favorites. A bonus Godiva bar too. A very cute pin pack from MSQC and a pouch she had made were also included. My charm pack was #Love by Moda.
It was just in time for Valentines Day. It reminded my of my niece and her family. They are moving this weekend, so I thought I would put together a quick basic quilt for them.
Got out my Kona White and started making HSTs, my go to basic. After I get them all trimmed, I’ll decide what I’m going to do with them.
Here is how it turned out. Basic HSTS, but I added a sashing between each row to give it a bit more length, as well as some borders.
Here is the back. I used Robert Kaufman Spot On in Red for the back. The binding is Penny Rose Hope Chest Houndstooth in Red.
I added each of the family names to a block to add some extra love. It is washed and in the mail. Hope they enjoy!!!
