A Quilt for Madeline

I had recently started to finish a quilt from years ago. I've put it aside again because I had another idea that took me to Fabricland on Sunday. I wanted to make a little quilt for Madeline....something sweet that she can snuggle with on a cold evening or when she's having a little nap.

Madeline loves pinks and purples and I adored this fabric which I'll use as the focal point. It has flowers in pretty colours and butterflies too.

I had no trouble finding pretty fabrics to go with all these lovely colours. In fact I chose 9 different fabrics and some even have butterflies.....
I cut and sewed together 4 large blocks using one each of the 9 different fabric squares.
I'm putting a square of the focal fabric in the middle of the quilt and using 4 ivory squares as well. I will applique and sew something simple on the 4 ivory squares. Hopefully my idea works and then I can share those squares with you later in the week.

I am going to choose a couple of other fabrics for the edges and in between to join the squares. That will mean another trip to Fabricland. How I wish we were having a snow day tomorrow..... :o) but we're not having any snow. I'll have to be patient and wait to work on this after work.

I hope you get to do what you want to tomorrow.... Judi xoxo
