Freshly Made Sketches: Honeycomb Quilt

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Amy and here’s what I did with it!

 

I took the sketch as just a cluster of elements so I didn't really track with the big, mediums and smalls.  This sketch was challenging for me but only because I always have a personal side challenge each week - and that is simply to create a card that will be used. Before this sketch came out, I had already knew who in my life needed a card. Then I saw the sketch.  My recipient is over 90 years old and completely old school so I couldn't just do any old random grouping - that would generally scream modern and trendy and that is very much not her.  I did think about a bunch of butterflies and I was headed in that direction when I saw this quilt set from Concord & 9th. I LOVE the way this turned out.  The quilt pattern is just right for her and I think the inspiration from the sketch gave it an eye-catching twist. 

I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
