    I just finished the binding handwork tonight & had to share one of my favorite baby quilts ever :thumbup:

    I bought 2 charm packs of Central Park by Kate Spain for Moda, I never splurge on fancy fabric but I think I could easily become a charm addict! It measures 36" square & I hand tied the center & machine quilted the borders. The topsy-turvy squares in the border are raw edge appliqued. The back is white & I found the purple tie dye binding fabric at walmart for like $2/yd or something crazy a few wks ago. I love making these, I can knock one out in 2 or 3 days. It's going to be hard to give this one away, lol.

    Edit to answer ?'s--Oh, I guess I should share a little more info. Each square is a little pillow filled with polyfil stuffing. My grandma made one years ago all by hand, it took her 8 months. This is all machine assembled, I got the idea from an online tute on someone's blog (she's since removed it) but I changed the instructions some to suit my style. I would feel wrong sharing the method but I bet a quick google search for biscuit or puff quilt tutorial would land some results.

    Pretty, I like the puffiness too. Did you use high loft batting?

    I think you need to do a tutorial on making this including where to get the pattern and supplies needed.
    This is way too cute!

    She's decided to charge for the pattern. This style quilt has been along for a long time though, here are a couple tutes.
