| She has just turned 9 and a brand new (girl) cousin needed a little quilt inspired by the Abundantly Blessed quilt pattern (a version of Robbing Peter to Pay Paul pattern) from Bonnie & Camille's Cotton Way made with their Marmalade in flannel. |
 |
| She zig-zagged S curves up and down the folded over scallops. |
 |
| Marmalade Charms became circles. Bella Porcelain 3.5" squares were glue sticked onto the center back side of each circle. |
 |
| Add edge scallops and snip. |
Abundantly Blessed uses melon shapes appliqued onto charms stitched together and we decided to modify this so the scallops would become part of the charm of this cute first quilt!
 | Abundantly Blessed
This pattern includes instructions for an easy, raw-edge version of the Cathedral Windows design! Use charm squares to make this 40" x 40" table topper or quilt.
I have provided a link to a great fabric and pattern shop, Shabby Fabrics, where I originally purchased my Abundantly Blessed pattern. And they are having a great Labor Day weekend sale.

I am very impressed with this beautiful quilt by a lovely young sewer! Would this young sewer be interested in being part of a fall blog hop? I'm hosting it Sept. 19th -26th and would love to have her be my guest and present a simple fall project with tutorial if her schedule will allow it?
That is so sweet but alas she lives in another state and her mom is not a quilter *yet*!
I will try to work with her before she leaves tomorrow to go back to school and capture the step by step on camera.
I will let you know if we were successful. Thank you, again!
What a beautiful first quilt. That is so fantastic that you're teaching her to sew at such a young age. I love the Marmalade fabric line. It is just perfect with this pattern!
Thank you so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

Beautiful quilt, and so nice to see a young sewer! I am wondering how I can get my daughter-in-laws interested in quilting.
Gorgeous quilt for a lovely young girl. It warms my heart to see children sewing. Thanks for sharing. Stopping by from Crazy Mom Quilts

Thank you for your sweet comments. She & her quilt were the hit of the baby shower!
Two beauties - your granddaughter and the quilt. :-)
Oh my gosh, I am amazed! Tell her she rocked that quilt!
