About the same time I learned my niece was pregnant, I saw this pattern and I knew I had to make it for her. Alexander was born April 19 and we are delighted to have him in our family.
The pattern came from Melly and Me and Australian sister team who design quilt patterns and softies. The quilt is a "Sew Little Pattern" called Baby Pinwheels. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued and machine quilted by Debbie Vermeulen, who did a super job!
I am so lucky to have a great friend in England who knew I would love this fabric...it is 100% cotton.
This is what I made from it, thanks to Laura at thimble.
I have found the fabric online, it is a Makower Fabric and is available from several British quilt shops such as Lady Sew and Sew and Exmoor Craft Fabrics.
Molly is my 5 year old Granddaughter and she lives a long way away. When we first met Molly, she was 2 months old, I took her for our first walk and we went to a quilt store, she slept through it but she still loves to go to quilt stores with me. She has her baby quilt, doll quilts, a Hallowe'en quilt and a quilted wallhanging but she is long overdue for a big girl quilt for her bed. When we visited last time we went to our favorite quilt stores and picked out fabric...all pink.
I am making log cabin blocks but not traditional ones. The centres are different sizes, the logs are different sizes but the finished blocks will be 12".
As I started making the blocks, I realized it was a lot of pink so now there will be sashing...with a bit of pink! Hope she likes it!
