I've Been Working on the Railroad

I could use a crew to build this Short Line Railroad
Are YOU available???? 
:-). 
 
I am definitely having fun working on this railroad. 
This is my first experience with Moda Honey Buns (1.5" strips). 
I'm glad I have two more planned Honey Bun projects, as I've really enjoyed myself. 
I think Moda has discontinued Honey Buns; much to my chagrin.  :-)

It's time to make more little soldiers.  :-)
 
I hope you're enjoying lots and lots of pieceful days!
 
I'll be back to share more progress soon.
I do appreciate your visits and comments.
 
In Friendship!

I've started (and not finished) a honeybun project from a Miss Rosie pattern called Ashcombe and I have the honeybuns and pattern for Times Four - another Miss Rosie pattern. I also planned to make the quilt on the cover of American Patchwork and Quilting that Carrie Nelson shows on the latest blog. I'm with you - honeybuns are great but there aren't many around.

I have two honey ins in my stash with fabric to match. It's like holding on to gold now that they aren't available anymore. Maybe they should reconsider if you start a riot! Lol! It's good to see you working....I mean, having fun piecing!

Cheryl said...

Very cute. I have never worked with honey buns.

Aunt 'Reen said...

Your railroad quilt is looking fabulous! This is going to be such a terrific quilt!

Vicky said...

Totally adorable! I have a few Honey Buns but I can see now that I should have stocked up!!

Yvette said...

Now that is so cute and fun! I have a couple of Honey Bins for a project in my UFO list. I guess I better move that one up.

Carrie said...

Very, very cute! I love it!

Honey Honey! Wasn't that a song? :)

You know... I think you should make one of these for everybody who leaves a comment...

I love the looks of this one!

Karee said...

I loved HoneyBuns. Especially in the Bella Solids.

BRING THEM BACK!!

Nanette Merrill said...

Well you are doing a great job. I don't think you need help. I haven't used the honey buns yet. I likey.

Sandie @ crazy'boutquilts said...

Wow! You have been busy! I love your top~ it is going to be so fun! They stopped making Honey Buns?! But i haven't bought any yet! Uh-oh. ;-)

I like it!! That block style is on my "to do" list. Sigh. I need to win Lotto or PowerBall so that I can focus on sewing. 25 more years and I can retire. HA!

Kindred Quilts said...

I'm lovin' those bright fabrics making the zigzags in this quilt Darlene!!!

Kaaren said...

Very, very pretty.

I never had the occasion to sew with a honeybun so I guess I don't know what I'm missing, huh?

Nancy said...

Thats beautiful too. I love both this one and your trip quilt. I wonder if I have any honey buns - hmmmmmmmmm

Jeanna said...

It's looking great Darlene. I've never used a honey bun before but it's too bad they're discontinuing them. I've found many cute quilts to make with pre-cuts.

Can't wait to see how you finish this one.

Tosty's Quilting Tidbits said...

Love the railroad and the colors. Can't wait to see it completed.

Wendy said...

That's fun, I'm available when I finish helping my daughter with her move but I'll wait until it not so hot!

PugMom said...

What a great pattern! Just a rail fence set on point? Love how graphic and modern it looks this way.

This is gorgeous!
Now I am humming "I've been workin on the railroad, all the live long days...." LOL

Grit said...

Oh this looks amazing.

QuiltNut Creations said...

Loving this Darlene!

Karen said...

I love this quilt!! So bright and happy. Has anyone mentioned problems leaving a comment from an IPad? I can't seem to leave a comment.

Deanna said...

Darling! I have wanted to build a chevron quilt in a similar fashion. Your scrappy-happy version is inspiring.

Josie said...

Wow!! I need to build a railroad! That is one lovely project and so is the postage stamp. I can feel the lure of the sewing machine.... you've got me all giddy :o))

Jane's Fabrics and Quilts said...

Wow! That is stunning! I cannot wait to see wherebthatbrailroad takes you!

AnnieO said...

Great railroad :)
I've seen HoneyBuns still being sold around different websites, but my 1.5" bin is pretty full too. This is a great pattern for using those up in a wonderful design!

Linda said...

Love your quilt

Carrie P. said...
