Inspiration for Mary’s Garden Quilt

I have a cute niece who has always enjoyed sewing with me.  As a toddler she would gather up scraps in my sewing room and arrange them on my design wall.  Her creative play was the inspiration for Mary’s Garden Quilt

Each time she comes to visit the first thing she asks is if we can sew.  Isn’t that wonderful?  Over the years we have made pillows and zipper pouches.  This year she is making pajamas for her brother and sisters.  She has become quite the little seamstress.

In honor of her I designed this quilt.  I call it Mary’s Garden.  I made it a few years back and have been asked several times for a pattern.  I’ve finally got around to doing it.  It was fun to revisit these scrappy blocks as I refreshed my memory of how I made them.

You can find the pattern in my Crumb Quilts book. Also check out the great flash sale at Fat Quarter Shop.  The So winter fat quarter bundle would make a fabulous winter quilt.
