Thanks very much for this, Julia. I enjoyed myself browsing your
website for a little while!
Problem, for Warm Wishes, is that I have so few patterned fabrics any
more. Yes, I could buy some with a childlike theme; but I thought this
was an opportunity to use up quite a lot of my stash - albeit mostly
pink! I have made a couple of Warm Wishes (before my not buying any
more patterned fabric phase!).

As I said, if and when I get the three quilts finished (the girls are in
proper beds now, so a bit larger quilts are needed).

One mistake I won't do again is to do a nice panel and then enlarge it
with various borders. I did that once and it looks dreadful. One of my
plans for this year has been to take it apart, and convert it into a
wallhanging, where the bargello centre won't be swamped by silly
borders, quite obviously put there to enlarge the thing ....Now, this
isn't always a bad idea, if the borders are planned; but mine was a case
of 'now what?'.....

Pat on the green

My go-to pattern for something quick, especially for children, is "Warm
Wishes". This pattern started as a free project Linus pattern on
quiltmaker.com. It is now a free bed size pattern at
http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/details.html?idx=5185_. It's easy
to modify the block size and number of blocks. It adapts well to kid's
novelty prints. Sometimes I use borders, sometimes not. I've got
pictures of some I've made on my website (which has not been updated for
several years, unfortunately).
