I spent Saturday and Sunday trying to learn this from the book. Oh boy! did I need a teacher! I didn't get it all together yet but the blocks are all finished. This isn't the final lay out, just how they landed when I got them done. I have little squares made in the same manner that will go between each on with the intention that it will blend together.

I tried to create an album here but can only learn one thing at a time!

OH Jeez, I swear I re-sized this!

nice going Janell. Something like this is still on my to do list. I love the way it turned out.

Well, Jennell, I am not any help when it comes to technical things, but I would have to say in any size this quilt is stunning! Is this the quilt for the new grandchild?

I have to confess I questioned your choice of fabric for a baby. I thought the motif was just too big and not entirely appropriate for an infant, but I am happy to eat crow on this one. When cut smaller, but repeated in the block it makes a very dainty and charming quilt befitting of a little princess. A very successful project.

BTW, how would you like to come teach this at our retreat? It would be a technique to hold everyone's interest!

Jenell!!

Wow! This is beautiful!

You seem to be learning mighty fast there, girfriend! Pat

Love the soft colors! Soooo pretty and Victorian-ish!

Thanks everyone for all the nice compliments. I am really pleased with the way it turned out so far. But I can't stand it! I have to try just a few more blocks to see if I can get a bit more color into it. Can anyone tell me how big a crib quilt is supposed to be?

Jenell sweetheart it is beautiful!!!!! I think it is so dainty and pretty as it is You have done an amazing job with this block wtg sweetheart I am sure I could never do this.

Here are several sources for quilt and mattress sizes. I did not compare them closely to see if there is much variance in the numbers. Hope this is helpful.
