Thanks everyone! My husband should of told me sooner. I knew she was pregnant but I didn't think we would get her anything and men just don't think of things like baby gifts. I had no clue as to how far along she was.

I was going to start it over the weekend but I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Nothing was coming to me. So last night I was going through my magazines and books I have and I saw the prairie point pinwheels in a mag. Thats what started it lol at was at 9pm when I came up with the pattern. Then I decided to pair it up with some 4 patch but the 4 patch looked to plain so then I got out all my books and looked at the applique patterns and I found the little flower. and the whipped up quilt was born.

I guess you could say its my pattern sourced form many
ideas :idea: lol I am sure someone has come up with something similar if not exact so I am not going to worry about it.

as for time well I found the prairie point pinwheels at around 9pm. so from start to finish it took me from 9pm to 3:30am so 6 1/2 hours with a few breaks to come check out the board of course and get my help for applique lol (love the search here) and now I have to get back on that sewing machine and get it done! lol wish me luck!

How nice of you to do this in so short of time. How is your husband feeling? Didn't hurt him too badly did you? You are a marvel. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

Wow, you truly do "whip them up" super fast. Great quilt!

AbbyQuilts 06-27-2011 10:49 PM

It is now quilted I am trying to decide if I want to try and get the binding on tonight, but I dont think so. It is already 2:45 am here and I am getting tiered. At the end of quilting i could tell I was getting sleepy as my loops and meandering was getting bigger lol.

I will get it finished up tomorrow and then we can go see that new baby on Wed. Thanks everyone for all the nice compliments. I am not normally fast but I do work well under pressure and I am a night owl so I can stay up late and I seem to get more done at night. At least hubby does appreciate the effort I making in doing this quilt this fast

Nighty night all
