I am going to make my sister-in-law this sweet Brown Bear quilt inspired by Eric Carle's Beloved tale. The fabric is 50% off this week at ABC's of Quilting (http://www.abcsofquilting.com/) They are offering 50% off a lot of different fabrics for their Valentine' specials. Here's what the finished quilt will look like:
They also offer a kit of it at fatquartershop.com ($54.99 + backing) but the 50% off price is cheaper if you can get it on sale. Usually this fabric runs $9.99/yard. The finished quilt will be 44 3/4" x 55".
The Debbie Taylor "What do you see?" pattern above is available as a free download from Andover and the fat quarter shop. The link can be found at Free Pattern and includes all fabrics needed, measurements and cutting and piecing instructions. I can't wait until mine is done. I am not the best at doing the quilting itself, but feel like a small baby quilt like this will be good to practice my free-motion quilting.
That is so cute, Kelly! I can't wait to see pictures when you're finished!
