This is a quilt I made for a friends 3 year old. It is the first time I've quilted with Minky fabric, and it wasn't as difficult as I had thought it was going to be.

This quilt is my very first completed quilt. The pattern is called "Rainbow Dreams" by Amy Ellis, but I call it the "Best Day Ever" Quilt named after the beautiful fabric line I used. The fabric is by April Rosenthal for Moda. I saw the picture of this quilt on the front cover of the MSQC Block Magazine and just knew I had to have one of my very own. Being a novice (NEW) quilter, I was so very proud when it finished beautifully and even a friend of mine who is a quilter complimented me on my beautiful piecing and points. I love this quilt SEW MUCH! I know it will always hold a special place in my heart since it is my first.

I came across this pattern on the internet. I was completely befuddled by the cutting, as the directions were written very poorly. I worked my way through it, and ended up with a lovely bright quilt that's perfect nap size. It's soft and lovely with a wonderful drape. I quilted a basic meander/stipple.
