I am about to have a new Dtr in Law (A mothers Dream answer). I would like to make her a quilt with lady bugs on it. Could anyone help me? I love applique and would prefer this method, but will PP also. She is sweet and I just met her and wonder if she got switched at birth. Why didn't I get this one to take home. My son is so lucky.
Hoping for help' [email protected] |
Congrats on nearly becoming a Mum in law. I hope you will have a long and happy relationship!

Hi, I don't do applique so I drew up a little paper pieced plan for you. I don't know how to put it on this message so look for it in the picture section. It's not perfect but maybe it will be of some help to you. I drew the square at 2" - you can really make it any size you like. Good luck. I hope things go well in the marriage.
Will be posted under Ladybug PP Plan. -Cathy |
Sorry - I can't seem to do it. I just uploaded pictures and it worked - but this isn't happening. Glad so many others have come to the rescue!

Great news on the pending nuptuals. I would love to adopt DS girlfriend, just to make sure I can keep her if anything happens!
Notice the ladybug ad! LOL |

Any basic quilt with huge ladybugs appliquéd on the blocks looks fun too. |
Wow! Thanks all. I am overwhelmed with responses. Here in Central Mass. we have these pumpkin bugs,nasty smelly things and I didn't want to use as an inspiration. I will post pics of finished quilt and of course the lucky groom and his bride. He waited long enough and what a prize she is. My luv and thanks to all

I was just looking (again) at the Fons and Porter Kids Quilts (Summer 2010) and on page 14 there is a neat quilt with lady bugs with wings partly open, just in case you want ANOTHER idea. :)
