Carnival Midway


The next one in the baby quilt donation project. This one uses more of the printed flannels that we bought plus a couple of fat quarter flannels that Narinder's nieces, Simran and Megha, brought me when they visited in mid-March.
This one reminds me of the pennants that fly on a carnival midway, hence the name. I used a pattern from a book and made a template from the diagram in the book. The template worked very well; I was pleased how easily it went together. I made the quilt smaller than the book described to make it more baby-sized and added borders to make it less square.

Don't let the '31 Projects to make in a weekend or less' on the front cover fool you. All of the quilts in this book take more time than normal people have in a weekend.
