First of all conratulations to your DGD for making such a beautiful quilt for her first one. It looks like she di an excellent job!
I have that pattern and was just looking at it again today trying to figure out what i needed yet to be able to start making it. This past spring I found some beautiful 100% cotton dress fabric in a couple large prints and some smaller ones in torquoise, whites and blacks and browns. It was on sale and beautiful and 60inches wide. I bought one large print and a couple small ones. I still need some more prints to go with it. So it won't look exactly like your DGD's but hopefully it will be pretty. My 11 year old DGD looks at quilt patterns and ideas that I've collected and then takes a post-it not and writes her name on it so that I'll make it for her. She put a big#1 on this patter so I suppose I'll have to give it to her. Maybe I should let her help me make it.

Incredible! I am totally impressed. Did she sit at your feet while you sewed, since the day she was born? This is a major achievement!

She's SOOOO proud of it! She even slept in it before I could get a good picture! :mrgreen:
on edit: I forgot to mention...the quilt is a kit called Park Place from Pine Tree Country Quilts. Designed by Deborah Mosa. It was on the front cover of the May 2010 issue of The Quilter Magazine. :-D
