need pattern for gr.daughter quilt
Our youngest granddaughter is 7. I want to make a quilt for her, but need some ideas of a pattern. I would prefer it be an easy one.
We don't see them very often but all of the other grands have a quilt which I have made.
Ideas, please!
Mariah

Not sure what her taste is, but I just saw a beautiful modern quilt pattern with all straight piecing on the AQS site. It's called the Bella Stacks Quilt.

just saw a Mo.Star tutorial called Pecking Order--used white charm squares and a multi colored pack of charms--but you cut those into 2.5"squares for the corners so might be a chance to use up scrapes too. And think that you could easily use other colors than white. looked like it went together pretty quick (of course all of hers do!).

How about a basic quilt made with 8 inch squares and then you could Applique some of her favorite things on to each Square or in random spots on the Quilt - like different easy flowers, butterflies, little animals ( can use for patterns the pictures out of children's coloring books or even fabric in those patterns..) then put a multicolor pieced border around the edges.. Then the quilting could be simple outlines or an all over .... Just an idea.

Warm Wishes or Rail Fence are easy and look great. My all-time favorite though is Friendship Star. It was very popular for awhile but not seeing it so much any more. Have seen it, too, worked in as sashing/cornerstones.
