Of COURSE a fat eighth is 9" x 22"........*silly* ME!!!!!!! (Been working with 'sweet treats at guild; my measurements are all screwy lately!;))

If you were asking about my quilt, the pattern was one I designed myself; I rarely make quilts from bought patterns. If you look closely, you'll see that the quilt consists of two blocks....a 4-patch and a half-square triangle. Just the backgrounds are different.

That is a darling, darling quilt. Would you mind giving us the name of the pattern? I'd love to make one of these for myself. Thanks!!!!

Sorry Jan.... I know yours was your own design.... my reply was for auntpiggylpn.

Looks like you got some great suggestions and thank you for sharing and good luck
Have a Blessed day

Oops, sorry! I thought you were talking to Jan!!! This quilt was on the front cover of the American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine Feb 2012 issue. It is called "Merry Go Round" The quilt in the magazine was made with 1930's prints and when I saw it, I just knew I had to make it out of the Ruby Collection by Moda. The pattern was for a 86 1/2" X 100 1/2" quilt but I just pared it down to make a baby size quilt. I used only 9 blocks and eliminated the outside border.
