My First Twin

-sized quilt that is...

My daughter is turning four this summer. Currently she is in a toddler bed, but this year, we decided it's time for a big-girl bed. L is tall, so nearly hangs off. She's been using my childhood quilt from a relative as her blanket, but I'd like it back. It needs some TLC and it's just special to me. It's one of the few things I still have from my childhood, so, it was time to put my quilting skills to good use.

L is very girlie, so after searching for princess and fairy patterns, I settled on using girlie fabric on a much simpler quilt composed of rectangles and squares. It was the right choice, I think. I'm pretty sure she'll love it.

So far, I've finished piecing it, and it has been quilted...stitch in the ditch and some Xs across the 6" squares. I just need to bind it and label it, oh, and get her an actual twin sized bed.


This is the book I got the pattern in.

This is the pattern.














Pieced and draped nicely over the queen-sized bed....It's big.

Quilted.
