Both the original block by Bec/Skyberries Handmade, and an up-sized block by Angie/Gnome Angel were offered as options for the introductory month of The Honey Pot Bee. I opted for the larger block (17 1/2" x 24 1/2"), making four very scrappy blocks for a grandgirl-sized quilt.

I chose Sprinkle in Jelly Bracelet from the Cotton + Steel Basics line as my background fabric, which just suited those scraps so nicely. And then for the back... oh goodness.... another Cotton + Steel print - Kimberly Kight's "Yours Truly" strawberries - totally won my heart.

A quilted grid with Aurifil's 50wt #2000 (beige) was a pretty obvious choice, plus a current favorite.
To top things off, the strawberry print had a perfect little selvage to sew into the back. It couldn't get better than that.
Linking up with Finish It Up Friday.
