SewEndipitous® Maker’s Note:
Darling Bug is exactly that — darling, bright, and full of stitched personality.
We especially love how the bold black legs give the design structure while the blue, green, and pink body colors keep it playful and cheerful. It has that wonderful “unexpected happy” feeling we love in a quilt — part nature study, part modern graphic design, and part pure sewing fun.
