This is a recently finished UFO. I think it was just waiting for a baby boy, and my DD's best friend is providing the baby boy!

Too nice and bright and cheerful to be a UFO - I wonder what made you put it aside? In any event, it's going to make a wonderful gift!

The bright colors are certainly attractive but what draws me to this quilt are the spinners. Great quilt, especially for a baby boy! :thumbup:

Very nice quilt, love the colors. How do you make the spinners? Thanks for sharing. Sheila

That's a perfect baby boy quilt!

DJ 02-23-2013 08:41 AM

Thanks for all the wonderful praise! I'm making a grab ball from the scraps to go with the quilt. It was a UFO only because it didn't have a recipient.

Thankfully, I was able to find the link. The spinners are paper pieced.

I love the colors and the pattern? So creative!

ljptexas 02-24-2013 05:24 AM

Oh wow! It is adorable..! I love stars. I'm in processing of making star blocks for my 1st DGS when he graduates in 2 yrs then the next yr his bro. Boys are hard to do anything (just about) for so I went with star. I have 5 DGD so girls are no problem.

This doesn't seem to be the same star. I love your spinners -- six points instead of five. BTW -- your little quilt is beautiful. I can see where either boy or girl would love those bright colors.

My apologies. You are right about the star. I used a different star pattern. It's by Ula Lenz called Triple 6ray Star. I can't find a link, but I did send an email to Ula Lenz asking if it was still available. On the pattern, each point of the spinner actually called for three different fabrics, but I just used the same fabric for all pieces.

I did find this one

which is very similar and could be squared off instead of hexagonal.

Very pretty...

matraina 02-24-2013 12:55 PM

Beautiful quilt. I'm sure his mother will love it.
