This is a Moda Bakeshop Pattern called Sweet Menagerie. The batiks are Tonga Sugarplum strips, the background was printed muslin I had on hand (Joann's probably).

I really love the design of the pattern, but found the directions a bit unusual, so I had to make my own notes before I started. First of all, I like my directions in list form, rather than paragraph. I like to check off as I finish a step. I also find it much easier to have all the cutting directions first, then the piecing directions. I had to go thru all of the directions to see what I needed to cut. I did miss some squares at first, but luckily I had enough fabric to make it.

I didn't take a picture of the backing yet. I used up the rest of the strips and did sections of beige and tan going from light to dark with strips of batik blocks between each color. I've got a rust color for the binding that I think will look good. I'm hoping that I can quilt this in sections because it's twin size.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of honey, molasses and brown sugar. Yummy quilt and colors.

Yummy. Love it. I need to stay off this board. I'm collecting way to many "to do someday" quilt ideas!!

Very Nice!

Love it...want to do this pattern with the birdie collection....

Beautiful!!!

Very pretty! I love a white trim or background. It makes the colors 'pop' for me.
Thanks for sharing.

very colorful and all perfectly straight!

Thank you for sharing your lovely quilt and for giving me another wonderful idea for a scrappy way to sew up my stash. I have lots of earth tone fat quarters I need to use up.

Very nice!

Nice job

I'm glad it looks straight...it isn't perfect, but I was pleased with how it came out. Next time, I need to use starch, it would have been much easier...my muslin was a bit stretchy.

Very pretty-can't wait to see it quilted

Beautiful, wonderful colors.

Very nice! I love the use of complimentary colours! I always try to do that too.
