I made this quilt for my daughter so I'm naming it "Josie" just as I named her.

I started out cutting my fabric for a Turning 20 pattern. But I miscut and had fabric that was too narrow. I decided to turn my cutting mistake into a unique quilt.

I took the idea of stacked coins and went crazy with it. I made pinwheels from the big 10" squares.

The finished result is a scrappy, patchworky looking quilt that I just adore!

Now, I just need to add borders and decide on backing.

It measures about 60" wide x 75" long. The color is off in the 2nd photo because my hand was partially in front of the flash.

LOVE IT!!! :D
Thanks for sharing!!

What a fun scrappy quilt!

I love how we think we make a mistake and it was an amazing quilt in the making!!!! Wonderful job on Josie's quilt and I love the name!!!!

Is your daughter just as unique and this quilt??

I love your quilt! Mistakes happen and something wonderful comes of it. Awesome!!

Most definitely! She's just as full of character and whimsy and spirit as this quilt. She's 4 years old going on 13. She specifically asked for the kitty cat fabric in it and squeals with delight when I let her lay on the quilt on the floor.

a one of a kind, lemonade from lemons, quilt. What's not to love? You captured the essence of quilting ;-)

What a fun quilt!

You gave me some ideas for the scrappy quilt I'm making. I could put pinwheels around the outside of my strips of 2x3" pieces. Thanks and beautiful quilt by the way.

I love this quilt! You did an amazing job turning a lemon into lemonade. And you have an adorable, beautiful DD. Thank You for sharing.

Your lovely DD has a lovely new quilt. They match - pretty, bright and happy. And I know the modified version is much more interesting than the symmetrical original. Love the colors and everything about it - esp the story.

You did a great job recovering from your error. Noone would know that you didn't plan this quilt from the very beginning! Josie will love it I'm sure!

Trisha Cribbs would be very proud of you for improvising and designing your own from her pattern. You did a great job and I love it too.

How cool is that!

A lovely quilt for a lovely little girl!! Both very pretty! Well done!!

Thats quilting for you! Make a mistake, who to know.

This is what I call a happy mistake! I love it!

Great recovery! BTW, Josie is a great name! My 11yr old has it too.

Very cute! I think your DD will love it!!

What a great quilt and beatiful little lady

Super! Looks like you had creative fun. Nice quilt. :thumbup:
