This little quilt I made two years ago for my new niece. It was the first time I made Prairie Points and I think it gives the quilt a little more "dimension" and little fingers have something to play with!
The pattern for this quilt I found here. It was featured as a mystery quilt. Each week the new instructions for the next step were posted. I really enjoyed making it this way, as it breaks the work down into small portions which were fast and easy to complete.
As I made it for another new baby I decided it needed something babyish so I embroidered the little horses in the corners. I used Sashiko thread for the quilting and I made rather large stitches.
Now I have a window of no house guests for about a month. I hope I'll be able to make the most of this time.
Have a happy day!

Hallo Vreni,
immer das Gefühl, du machst zu wenig? Aber dann fällt einem plötzlich ein, da war doch noch was? So geht`s mir jedenfalls immer. Ich vergesse schnell die fertigen Sachen, weil das Machen so viel Spaß macht. ;o)
Tolle Babyquilts! Ich mag beide sehr.
LG from Germany
Oh Vreni -- they're beautiful! I love that you added the embroidery to make the second quilt a baby quilt. And those half square triangles -- love 'em!!!
Vreni, I hope you are able to enjoy this sewing time as well. I can totally in love with your first quilt and the prairie points are just perfect final touch. Your second quilt is adorable! and what a sweet detail to have added those horsies. I would love to try sashiko at some point and I just love the big stitch effect: Well done!
:)
Love the little horses in the corner and all the half square triangles on the first. Prairie points always add a fun dimension for kids.
Hoe lovely they are!!!. I think the fabrics are very well combinatet... And the design very sweet.

I have never made prairie points Vreni. Can you give me some directions. I would love to do a border like yours. It's really lovely.
Vreni these are sooo cute!!!! The one for your niece is ...Yo!!
I love the baby quilts you made/ Especially the blue one!
Pretty baby quilts! Have never done Prairie Points so this looks a very interesting border.
