A new Sherbet Pips quilt made for my littlest little lady just because I hadn't got around to making her a quilt from my fabric yet.
I am so glad I finally got around to stitching up this one as she spent her entire weekend dragging it around with her everywhere she went.
I think she likes it.
This one uses the pink, grey and red colours from the line to give a sweet as sugar mix perfect for little rosy cheeked sweeties everywhere. It can be made in three sizes and the above one is a good child or lap size at 49 1/2" x 60 1/2" which I made using the leftover jelly strips from making the lap size version of the comic strip quilt plus yardage for sashing (2 from 1 is good going in my book) I love how the two quilts look entirely different from one another.
This was my second go at writing up a pattern and uses both illustrator pics and photo's to explain all the steps. Again lots and lots of maths was involved in making sure that all the workings out will work out for you. You can see further details about the quilt in my shop.
I have also added brand new tutorials on 'Basting a quilt' and 'Making binding' to my blog to help you finish off the quilts.
Thank you all for your kind comments and emails about my appearance on Pat Sloans show yesterday!! I was so nervous but Pat put me right at ease, I hope you all enjoyed listening in?
If you missed it, you can listen here by clicking the play button on the most recent show or you can download a podcast to listen to later from here.
Our little ones sure spur us on in our sewing don't they?! The quilt pattern is different than I've seen before...I like it!

This quilt pattern is unforgettable, I have loved it when it was in bliss but this now has a wonderful look with the grey, it suits your fabric it would seem. Simply Gorgeous!

What lovely quilt. My girls are well and truly convinced that I will never finish 'their' quilts. Maybe I should have decided to hand quilt them because they may be right. Your daughter is a lucky girl.

What a fab pattern! Do you have any idea when the Pips will be available in the UK?
Thanks

Hi Rachel,
I think pips will be available here in the UK about a month after they are released over in the US.
Hope you are planning some fun stuff :)

This is such a cute quilt. Guess WHAT?? I just ordered a jelly roll of Sherbet Pips. I happened on Randi's (Fresh Squeezed Fabrics) blog post like right at the same time she posted. Consider me totally EXCITED!

So nice that your little one loved your geese quilt--always great to hit a homerun with a project. Listened to your podcast--wonderful to learn a bit more about you and your process! LOVE your fabric--has such a cozy feel, and your images reminds me of the hours I spent swinging when I was young.

PS. Salt Lake City is in a valley with a lovely mountain range on the eastern side (complete with fantastic skiing if you're into that sort of thing). My daughter is in college there right now--enjoy your little ones while you can!
