For our baby!
I have spent a long time on this quilt, partly because my big belly makes sewing a little tougher, but partly because I wanted it to be awesome. I think it ended up pretty awesome. 
I used some scraps for the back, not really what I had imagined in the beginning, but I am pretty pleased with it. The minty green stripes are minkee, I think maybe I should have made the whole back minkee, but the pinwheel squares were too hard to resist.
I Googled “scrap quilt” and found the lovely one you did back in July 09, I think, with the diagonal insets in 5″ blocks. I am enjoying you blog. Your color combinations are fabulous and I adore the set you made for your baby crib. I’m looking forward to future posts.

So darling, Cybele! I have a vision in my head for a vintage-inspired nursery — I’ll have to pick your creative brain for design ideas.

I was googling baby quilt ideas and a picture of your Pink and Green baby quilt came up and I fell in LOVE with the design!! Do you know where I can find that pattern?? You did a great great job!
Congratulations!

I wish I could tell you the pattern. I started this with a pattern that came free to encourage me to subscribe to a quilting magazine, but I changed it a lot from the original. I tend not to use patterns, I just keep building on an idea until it reaches the dimensions I want…

That is funny! I do the same thing. I hate following a pattern, but liked yours so much. Usually I see something I like and say “hey, I can do that!” I will try to mimic it. Keep up the good work!
