I started this right before my now 2 year old daughter was born, and I'm about 60% done with it now. I wanted it to be super special for her, so I'm hand quilting it. In those 2 years we've moved and it was packed away and I didn't touch it for almost a year.

I know my hand quilting isn't the best, but I'm so happy with it.

In the Hoop measures about 60x60

Just precious. I have some of that fabric and wondered how to use it. I like the way you put it together. Very, very nice!

What a wonderful treasure your little one will have!

I'm interested in source of fabric. My guild challenge is to make a quilt to go with book that was randomly handed out - I ended up with a book about Peter Rabbit & friends. I've been looking & looking for suitable fabric to no avail. Anybody out there have Peter Rabbit fabric they'd be willing to swap for other LQS yardage or FQs? I don't have much but probably can find something that would suit your fancy. PM me is you can help. Thanks.

Thanks for your comments! I still have a lot of the fabric leftover, I might make a pillowcase or something with them.

:) Appreciate all the comments!

I don't honestly remember where I got the fabric. I think I got it about 3 years ago, probably online at craftconn.com but I don't think they have it anymore.
