This pattern (Simple Modern Baby Quilts) was permanently retired in Summer 2010, but has been replaced with an updated pattern called More Simple Modern Baby Quilts. The new pattern doesn't involve Minky or animal appliques, but does include additional piecing styles, including matching pieced backs. If you're looking for applique instructions, you can find them here.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments this week! The pattern is now available in my Etsy Shop.
The three giveaway winners, via random number generator, are: Randi, Alice S. and Kat. Congratulations!



These are beautiful. Congrats to the Winners!

Where do you find furry felt? It sounds like the perfect applique material. I've been looking since you first mentioned it, and I can't find it anywhere. I'm getting desperate! You know how it is when you find about something you just have to try.

The little appliques are so cute, and I love the "boxed square" pattern that you used.

Your quilts always inspire me. These are no exception. I love the fabrics you used and the extra animal element throughout all four.
