This quilt has been a challenge since day one and at times I wasn’t sure if I would finish it. The reason I picked this pattern is because my granddaughter who I was making this for is a fan of mushrooms and when I saw the pattern and the fabric itself, I knew this was the right quilt for her.
The pattern is called Mushroom Buttons and the fabric is Mushroom Blooms by Poppie Cotton. I am becoming a big fan of the Poppie Cotton designs as they are so cute and perfect for little girl quilts.
Finished product after being washed and giving it that crinkly look!
Here is a pic of the mushrooms and dresdens laid out.
Below are a few pics while on the longarm being quilted.

When I'm gifting a quilt, I always wash them before giving them away. I do that to make sure nothing falls apart as the last thing I want is for some of the piecing to come apart after it gets washed. All of the following pics are after this process.
No quilt is complete without my "special" label.
Thanks for stopping by my little piece of serenity. I’m a Tennessee transplant who loves to quilt, sew and cross stitch. I also love reading, gardening and baking. I share my daily life with 2 dachshunds, a tortoiseshell cat and a husband who puts up with all my crazy ideas. In addition, I have 3 grown children and 4 grandkids who I treasure more than anything.
