Magnificent Baby Beatrix Potter Quilt

After falling in love with this very fabric last summer, I knew my nursery theme would be Beatrix Potter. I had bought a kit from my local fabric store to make an adorable quilt. However, it was a little too complicated for my pregnancy brain. So, I give you the extra adorable alternative that I just LOVE!!
After playing with Picasa, I made my first collage... If you click on it it will go to a new screen where it is bigger. I absolutely love the scalloped edges! This quilt was soo much easier than I thought it would be! The character print is VERY special since they don't make it anymore. I tried to get some more to use on the bumper pads, no luck :( But love it so much here!

This is another HUGE check off of my To Do List! What should I accomplish next?


Posting here and you should too if you have something you made this week!
I also linked up with Sew & Tell and I am very excited to see what everyone has done since I know how accomplished I feel for finishing this one!
