Zig Zag Cheater Quilt

For Spoonflower's Zig Zag Cheater Quilt Contest I decided to enter the Ladybug Cheater Quilt.  This piece is part of the Ladybug Collection.  Currently I have five pieces available for sale from that collection.  The fabrics that you can purchase now are  Daisies & Ladybugs, Colorful Ladybugs On Vine, Pink Daisies & Ladybugs , Red Ladybugs On Vine and Red Ladybugs On Vine Green Background.  If you are interested in any of the other fabrics please contact me and I can make it available for purchase as soon as possible.



This cheater quilt was my first ever to put together.  A cheater quilt is designed to look like patchwork or applique so that you do not have to do the piecework and just quilt and bind the fabric to make a finished quilt.  They are a lot of fun to design.  It's kind of like putting a puzzle together using fun colors and different designs.  The ladybugs were inspired by my dear friend who asked me to design ladybugs for her sweet daughter's first birthday.  End result was 16 different fabrics and 2 cheater quilts to choose from.  I love being asked to design something special for people that they have in mind.  If I have time what I tend to do is to make a variety of different fabrics of the same theme so that the client has many to choose from.  I'm also always willing to adjust sizing of the design and colors to better suit the needs of the client.  So if you have an idea for a design and would like to have it on fabric and would like me to design it please by all means contact me.  It provides great inspiration for me and I always love the challenge of a new project.  Plus I'm always honored by the request.

Now at Spoonflower you can also purchase these designs for wallpaper and wall decals!  Perfect for a child's bedroom or play area!
