I unrolled one of the Figgy Pudding honey buns last night to start the center of my quilt tablecloth.
I used only a small portion of the strips, and cluck.cluck.Sew's awesome tutorial to make some double hourglass blocks. Using the 1.5" honey bun strips and her strip pieced method, I ended up with a 4.25" unfinished block after squaring them up. Each block took only 13" of a honey bun strip, and they went fast!
This finished square is about 17", I just have to decide which fabric to frame it with for the table's center.
And now go look here! She is already on day 41 and I didn't see this yet?! I may do a few of her peppermint candies to go with the Figgy Pudding.

Seriously, when do you find the time to do all of this?
I have not done another thing for quilting yet. I do have some tops and jumpers to sew for my daughter though. I will be starting those tonight.
They look great. And what is the difference between honey bun, jelly roll and the other thing?

i. LOVE. this!!! what a great idea to use a honey bun for alison's wonderful tutorial.
Hi! I am late to the party! Hope you still get comments from old posts! I have a honey bun I didn't know what to do with until I saw your post on this quilt! I checked out Cluck Cluck Sew's tutorial and makes sense... I am just unsure what size to cut the large square to make my template like you did in order to use the honey bun strips! I would like to make these small like yours! Thank you for any help you can give me! Appreciate it! I am glad I googled honey bun quilts and found yours! I, too, have three sons, almost full grown - they really do grow up so fast! :O)
