    I finished up sewing the top of this quilt, which is destined for my Niece for her Christmas present this year (she will be nearly 2 years old by then). The pattern is just darling, it's called "Spice Cake" by Mary's Cottage Quilts.

    I used a fabric line called "Flutter" to make it up.

    This is a FAST top to sew. It came out sizeable (that's my queen sized bed it's on there, it's just barely over the edges on the sides) and I cut and sewed it in about 5 evenings (with my sewing time in the evenings being approx 2 hrs). It calls for yardage or FQs, but you could easily do it with a layer cake as the snowball blocks that make up the quilt are 10".

    quilt top.

    Thank you! My favourite part (aside from how fast it was to make) is the little confetti-ish tiny squares between the snowballs.

    Very pretty. Like the sashing. Gives it a nice look.

    just think how fast it would go if you did use a layer cake. Love the idea, and I love fast. Great job and I know lots of work

    It's really nice. The cornerstones are just the right touch.
