Baby Mezzanine Quilt
This is a quilt for a dear friend's baby girl. I finished it just today and have to give it away tonight at the party. The weather outside is dreary, so these pics will have to do.
I LOVE this quilt!! I used Patty Young's Mezzanine line. I bought 17 fat quarters (the entire line, I think) and used exactly half of the fabric. I was very careful to keep the other half for another project.
It measures appx. 48" square. The tutorial I used is linked below - thanks, Stephanie, for sharing this fabulousness with us!! It is very well-written and easy to follow. I would still consider myself to be a quilting novice, so please don't be intimidated by the pattern!! If you're thinking of trying one like this, DO IT!!! You won't be sorry!!
Ok. I can't seem to make the link to the tutorial work, so please visit makeitawonderfullife.blogspot.com. You'll find Parts 1 and 2 of the "Simple Circle Quilt Tutorial" on the nav bar on the left of the page.
(See my photostream for pics of the back and the label.)

Gorgeous quilt! You did a fantastic job on it. I'll bet you were a little sad to give it away so soon? ;)
Thanks for telling about the tutorial. it's very nicely done! :)

Thanks for all of the positive comments. This group is so encouraging!!
Ann - Yes, I was a bit sad to give it away so quickly. But she loves it!! Also, I have enough fabric left over to do another one ... someday :)
Sewanyhow - Yes, this line looks fabulous all done up. There were a few fabrics in the line that I wouldn't have chosen, but I decided to take the risk - and I'm glad I did!!
