Update on the Double Slice Honey Honey

I am soooo glad this done and almost ready to send to MSQ for quilting. Of all the years I've been sewing and quilting, this has not been my most enjoyable project.

First, I purchased the Honey Honey fabric for my GD's quilt. Then my daughter told me it looked like an old lady fabric. Purchased another $100 of Ticklish for her and decided to make this one for myself. No harm having an extra quilt around the house.

Then I ran into problems sewing some of the blocks in reverse. Did a little froggin' but not much. Couldn't find the blue I wanted, so got the black floral. Needed to make the quilt wider, so added a 3" orange border - I don't like it. The color is fine, I just don't like the 3" border.

So nothing about this easy Double Slice quilt has been fun. The only funny thing is that my GD saw me working on this last week and she said, "Oh, Grandma, I hope that's the one you're making for me." Oh, just shoot me now.............

Ha! I think you should smack your daughter on the back of the head the next time you see her!

The quilt looks great to me. I remember when you said you needed to rip a lot of it out and I said "NO!"

Well, I love it! I think the orange frames it nicely! So, going to give it to GD?

It's a great quilt! Sounds like you may know DGD's taste better than DD does! I'd be tempted to tell her "Nyah, nyah, told you so!";)

No, I'll make the Ticklish fabric for her and let her pick which one she wants.

Thank you Sandy.:D

I think it looks great! As I sit fighting with my own double slice pattern, grrrr! If you're an NCIS fan, how about a Gibb's slap to the back of the head?? LOL

I will say something, and not trying to defend your daughter or anything, but when I look at the Honey Honey line on the MSQC site, I don't like it, but every quilt that has been posted made with it all sewn together, I do like it.

I love the quilt. Your GD has great taste.

I love the story and I do loe Honey Honey fabric. I may be an old lady but I think it is a very fresh youthful fabric! Slap that girl of yours!

HAHA! I love your story! The quilt looks really great to me. Good job and so glad you got it done.

So bright and colorful, your DGD knows her stuff! Lovely quilt.
