This little quilt top went from idea to finished quilt top today. This morning I bought some fabric to go with some older fabric from my stash. Because the older fabric had been washed, I washed the new fabric, too (after lunch). Once it was all washed, dried, and ironed, I cut out the pieces and got to work sewing. It's obviously a very simple pattern, and it sewed together very quickly and easily.
The center focal fabric of the quilt was a 14-1/2 x 20-1/2 inch scrap, but it could easily be cut from a fat quarter. In fact, my idea for the pattern, in general, is to use it to showcase a fat quarter. I think it is a good way to use larger scale novelty print fabric.
My plan for this quilt top is to quilt it myself in a cross-hatch pattern. Once it is all finished up, I plan to donate it to the Methodist Church as part of my guild's on-going support of their tradition to give a quilt to all babies baptized there.
The pattern is available here for free. Enjoy!
