I did this pattern with some bright pastels from the stash inherited from my mother. The fabrics were cute children's fabric with flowers with faces, cartoon butterflies and frogs. I used some batting I inherited from a coworker's mother-in-law. Two months later, our workplace adopted a family for Christmas and the family had an 8 year old daughter. I was so excited to gift this quilt to her, as was my coworker who helped donate to the gift. A little off-topic, I know, but this is a quick and easy pattern and it makes a great gift.
