My blog reader says I got the wrong “Best Buds” Quilt.

Here’s the one of which she was thinking. And it is adorable, colorful, and, yes, modern.

It’s from “Sentimental Stitches,” under the “shop” section.

Adorable as it is, the method is appliqué.

And I don’t like appliqué. I’m not sure why. I love hand work. I can do appliqué well. And I’m not a big fan of machine appliqué either, though I do it well too.

These blocks, though, would make adorable stretched canvas pieces.

I might get tempted…

One of my blog readers commented about this “Best Buds” quilt pattern, but she had trouble including a picture in her comment. Here is the scrappy version of this very cute pattern. So thanks, commenter! I do like it a lot and will get the pattern and at least make a block for a stretched canvas piece.

The pattern is from Pen+Paper.

What a great use of my solid scraps this could be!
