A co-worker is expecting a baby. His wife loves flowers (the baby is to be named Zinnia) but doesn’t like the colors pink or purple. How to make something just right?

Well, first you find the right pattern. Check THIS out.

Yes, the blocks have a lot of pieces–53 each. And those pieces are little. But, the right thing is the right thing.


And an unexpected backing fabric from an old scrap that was too cute to be thrown away. See how the colors work?! Such good fortune.

And I love the outcome.
Absolutely perfect, and the backing is super cute. Another terrific quilt!
What a special quilt for Zinnia. And the backing is super cute. Well done!
This is a lovely baby quilt. I don’t think all baby quilts need to be pastel and babyish. Happy stitching!
That is adorable, perfect backing, and a garden on the front.
As always, beautiful.
Love it when I see a baby quilt that isn’t pastel! This is great! 🙂
I do, too, and that backing was just the thing – funny how things hang around and one day, they are perfect. There’s a metaphor for our lives in there somewhere. =)
It’s perfect!
Beautiful baby quilt – she will love it!!
Now THAT is a baby quilt!! You have really thought about the name and the style. I love the flowers. Great job!!
