Modern Garden Quilt













This geometric patchwork quilt is made from batiks, a lovely lawn floral, and a collection of solids which create a broken ombre look on the back.  

This handmade quilt is made from all cotton: cotton front, cotton batting, and cotton backing.

I used a lime green for the double-fold binding. The double fold French binding was machine sewn on the front and hand-stitched to the back.

A label with the maker's name -mine- (Honeysuckle Lane / Lana Manis) as well as care instructions is attached to the back. It has been machine quilted by me, as well.

This could be used for an adult throw quilt or a quilt for a child.

Size: 56” x 60”.

Care: Machine wash cold. Tumble dry or line dry.

Machine pieced / machine quilted by Lana Manis in the Southern Appalachians.

This quilt has been laundered. The more it's washed, the softer and more crinkly it will get.

Find it in my Honeysuckle Lane Etsy shop.

Hand Tied Baby Quilt


This fun, colorful quilt is ready for your little one to snuggle in or play on! It would be a great baby shower gift, as well. It already looks like an heirloom quilt with its eclectic collection of fabrics and crinkly coziness that appears once it has been laundered the first time.

This handmade quilt is made from all cotton: cotton front, cotton batting, and cotton backing.

The front is made up of alternating aqua solids and bright batik prints.

The back of this quilt is a speckled light green print.

It has been hand-tied with wool yarn, and once it was washed and dried, the yarn made the funnest little fuzz balls! 

I used the same green backing fabric for the double-fold binding. The double fold French binding was machine sewn on the front and hand-stitched to the back.

A label with the maker's name -mine- (Honeysuckle Lane / Lana Manis) as well as care instructions is attached to the back. It has been machine quilted by me, as well.

This could be used for a baby quilt or a quilt for a child.

Star-crossed Quilt




I had a few fabrics that I thought would be pretty in a star block. That’s how I usually start a quilt… I see a few prints or colors that stand out, then think of how I’d like to see them in a quilt. Most times I use a variety of fabric lines, even vintage pieces, because I want it to be truly unique…a quilt that I can’t even replicate.

Once I had most of the blocks made, I felt they needed to have a bit of separation, so I added some blue sashing. Then decided to add some white to the blue. Now when I look at the quilt, sometimes I see stars and sometimes I see crosses. I think I’ll do another one in more distinct colors and see how it turns out.

This one is a good throw quilt size at 55” x 67”.
You can find it in my Honeysuckle Lane Etsy shop now.


The back is pieced from many of the fabrics used on the front.



I do all my piecing and machine quilting on a Juki TL-2000Qi, whichI love! I always work with an OttLite or two, as well. They make such a difference!




All of the outdoor photos were taken in the little community where I grew up… just up the hill from my old home place.

As I’ve said before, sewing the binding by hand if my favorite part of quilt making.

I’ll be back soon with a few more quilts. I’m trying to get them all listed in time for Christmas shopping. 
If you think of it, quilts usually last for many, many years and make very special gifts.

Thanks for stopping by!
God bless, Lana
