    Default looking for a pattern

    I have a friend who asked me if I could find a quilt pattern for her. It is a baby quilt in the shape of a lamb. She and her mother made it several years ago and she would like another one made for her grandchild. Her mother was a seamstress and not a quilter so my guess is that it may have been a Simplicity, McCalls, etc.? This is a copy of the description she gave me:
    "I probably can't even describe it very well, but I will try, the best I can..

    The quilt it's self is the shape of a lamb. The body of the lamb was naturally the largest part of the body, it was pink and I think it was scalloped on the top edge and curved. The head was on one endd, a curly que tail on the other and four black feet on the bottom. Ohhhh, I am so terrible at this. It was hand tied, rather than machine quilted. I'm sorry, but at the moment that's about the best I can do."

    It kindof sounds like the rag quilts that are in the shape of turtles and dinosaurs etc...I think simplicity makes that
    pattern. Hope you find what you're looking for!

    Did you Google Lamb Quilt Patterns or quilted lamb patterns? That might be a good place to start.

    Do they have a picture of the original quilt? This would help a lot, you might be able to re-create the quilt from the photo if you can't find the pattern.
