Cupcake Quilt!

Here is the finished quilt!

Step 1 Deciding on the design

So, my first step in making the quilt was to aimlessly wander the aisles of the fabric store. I knew the colour scheme was going to be pink and black, so I looked for fabrics that had a striped pattern for the cupcake base and textured patterns for the top.

Once I had decided on the fabrics, I made a template or pattern for the top and bottom of the cupcake and tried cutting out a few to see what it would look like. I always like to “dry fit” my quilts to see if I like the design. I think it would be horrible to spend so much time putting together a quilt that you don’t end up liking.

Love this one!!! I would tackle it in floor pillows or throw pillows, especially for/with my granddaughters. Would even be cute as a wall hanging. Looking at this I can imagine it being personalized and using "bling" on it as a wall hanging. 

This one is definately a keeper as I am always on the lookout for sewing projects the girls would enjoy and we could work on together. Thanks for the idea, the understandable directions and the great pictures!!

I love the idea of using it for a wall hanging! My plan is to make a few floor pillows eventually...
Thanks so much for your feedback! I'd love to see pictures if you end up making anything!

Thanks!
My plan is to make a few matching floor pillows with the same fabric!
