    Thanks to all for the interest. The pattern is called Canterbury Crossing and was in the November 2008 issue of The Quilter magazine.
    The original pattern calls for an 8" block with sashing making a lap size quilt. I made the one below in blues and browns for my son as a Christmas gift in 2009.
    I loved the pattern so much that when my DIL wanted these fabrics I decided to increase the blocksize to 12" and just do four blocks with the sashing to make a star in the center.

    Not at all. Because it isn't baby baby, it will probably be used longer.

    This is also my first try at FMQ on my new Babylock (a Christmas present).
    No, I think it is pretty!!! Could be heirloom too!!!

    Looks fine to me. Very pretty dainty print and should be perfect for a baby girl!

    It's lovely for a little girl, and will grow up with her.
