This is a quilt I made for my granddaughter Madeleine last year for her fifth birthday. Title: Zertz
Size: 80”x80”(original design)
I started this project with a “lap quilt” size in mind. Needless to say, the size evolved. This is the first time I have made a large square quilt. I enjoyed making it and am pleased with the results.
Madeleine LOVES to eat dessert. Her name for dessert is: Zert.
There are 5 hearts in each corner to represent her age. One big heart is in the very center. There are yo-yo’s in the center of each heart as well as the center of the four pinwheels. The yo-yo’s are hand button hole stitched. Yo-yo’s are also used as flowers in each basket.
Ice cream cone, piece of chocolate cake, cup cake and lollipop.
The theme fabric is used for the border; it has all kinds of desserts on it.

This is a sweet quilt for a sweet girl! I think your attempt at doing a traditional quilt hit a home run. Did you find yourself wanting to abandon the traditional and make something artisy?
I do enjoy the opposite of the spectrum: depression era styles.
I love the simplicity of that era.
So, I was okay within the realm. I did think the overall look had an "artsy" effect.
And, YES, she is Sweet.
Thanks for posting!

Hi, I stumbled onto your blog while looking for white iron daybeds...and I love the one you have pictured on this post. Do you know where you bought it?
I like the bedskirt too!
Thanks,
