I didn't use a pattern, I made this quilt from a picture that I saw on the net. I used a charm pack and matching jelly roll. I left the charm pack squares as is and surrounded them with strips from the jelly roll, I then added 2.5" white sashing inbetween the blocks and added a 2.5" white border and made a pieced border with the remaining bits of the jelly roll with white inbetween. I measured the mattress to worked out how many squares that I needed to desired width and length and then added the borders, hope this helps. Like 3 people like this

How did you quilt it? I can't see the detail work. I am working on a baby quilt for my first granddaughter and I'm struggling with the quilting. I guess I am a passionate piecer and need more practice with the quilting.

Hi Mary, I think I cross hatched the centre squares and quilted straight lines 1/4" in from the seam on all the other sections, didn't know how to free motion quilt back then
