Has anyone ever made a quilt like this?

It is another "copy cat idea" I think because Rebecca Wat published a book called "Fantastic Fabric Folding" c1960, C&T Publishers, Lafayette, CA. And it includes this idea along with others. I made a couple of the pattern you are talking about...would not recommend it for a child, unless it is a wall hanging...something cute, bright, and lovely for a young child's wall. And easier and quicker than a quilt. Might want to consider that for the child.

I would not make this for a child, a childs quilt should never have anything loose on it.
This could be a choking hazard, as well as the pieces being pulled off.
There are plenty of childrens pieced quilt patterns available,
especially with all the wonderful childrens fabric available today.

I made a quilt very much like that. The flowers didn't stay folded when I washed it. I was very disappointed. I have a book with Orgami style quilts and they are very pretty. I don't think I would make it for a young child, they could get little
fingers caught or pull the folded parts out. It would be alright for an older child.

The first question is how old is the child. Then, how much time & effort do you want to put in making a quilt for a child. If it is to be used everyday & washed frequently, then I'd say make something that can stand up to the wair and tear. If it is being used as part of the decorating theme, go for it.
