Lattice for a Little Lady

This lattice quilt was made with a charm pack from the Missouri Star Quilt Company using their  "Lattice Quilt" tutorial. Actually, the instructions are also in their BLOCK magazine...can't seem to lay my hands on it, but it was from the first year of the magazine. 

Jenny suggested laying the blocks out and testing the tones by snapping a b&w photo...which I did. That helped with placement. 

I used some extra scraps of fabric from my daughter's toddler days. At the time I was piecing this our granddaughter was not yet a twinkle in her father's eye, but I was able to put this together ahead of her birth and in time for the baby shower. (Yea!) 

Now she's six months old and sitting pretty!


Finished!
Figuring placement.

Labeled on front with machine stitched strip of red.

Another chance to practice free motion.

Backing fabric was too pretty to cut, so it found a home here.
