What a cute pattern. The quilt is perfect for a baby. I know someone has probably already asked, but what's the name of the quilt pattern?

The pattern came from the June/July issue of "The Quilters Magazine" a picture is on the cover it is called nine little piggies obviously another change I made in the pattern Hahahahaha.

Haha I saw it after and thought about changing it and decided not mostly because after a few more washings it will never be noticed.

"Now why make the pigs anatomically correct" I thought, then I too realized it was a tie. LOL. Really cute quilt. I take it you know the baby will be a girl. Love your fabric collection in this. Also cute how you have one piggy facing opposite of all the rest. Did you use thin strips of fabric to make the ties?

The ties are/is? verigated baby weight yarn and yes we were told it's going to be a girl. The very last pig and the nursery rhyme are the insperation for the quilt name "this little piggy came home".

That is so unique. Gives me a great idea to make one for my friend's daughter who is raising a pig.

You should it was a ton of fun and pretty easy if you buy the magazine it was in you will see where I made my changes the one that made the most sense are the tails they had cute little curly cues but with washing they never would have held up so I did the tag tails. If you make it please be sure to share it with us.

Thank you all again I like this one so much I'll probably make it again just to have it around for the next baby quilt I need.
