It's A Friday (Flimsy) Finish!




Lydia has a baby's first birthday to go to. Now, Lydia loves ladybugs ~ hence the nickname Lydibug ~ and she has quite a collection of fabrics in this theme!



Baby Zoe's mommy likes ladybugs, too, so Lydia decided to share. We made the top this week, and I ironed Zoe's name on when I came home from "Back to School" tonight.


This is the disappearing nine patch, in 4 1/2" squares. Lydia made the original 9 patches with the ladybugs in the 5 corner positions, I whacked and put it back together.



WooHoo! Look at these prints!





The border is the 4 1/2" cut in two, and then "checkered" with the pink.


I'll join in at Amy's to show it with the other finishes this week, come see!



Happy Quilting!
Pokey

  1. What a darling quilt! I am amazed at how many 'ladybug' prints you found. Have you ever checked out Ladybug Hill Quilt shoppe in Colorado. I'm pretty sure they have a website. Great people. I know them from being on the road at shows.

  2. I just saw this pattern last night at quilt group. Someone had just sewn the blocks earlier and laid a few out on the table for us to see. I like seeing how yours was finished up; very nice!
