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…
Ha! I noticed a long time ago that I don’t necessarily enjoy doing something just because I’m good at it! So I get it with the applique.
I found your blog by chasing this pattern.
