What a great site! Thanks for this wonderful pattern and tutorial. I've been looking for a great baby quilt for new little girl in our family and I've finally found it!
Beautiful quilt! Do you have a recipe to increase the yield to a bit larger quilt like a throw or twin sized???
This is so cute. I just stumbled upon you blog and am haveing a very good visit. I will be trying some of your things for sure. I love your little button top pins. Where did you get them?

Jodi, It's darling. I've got to make that.
Spectacular web and spectacular quilt :O
I love that prairie point inner border!!
I made this quilt over the week-end. Just have to figure out how I want to quilt it. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern, it was a fun quilt to make!
Thanks for the tutorial! The quilt was so fun to make!
I was simply delighted to find your pattern through Google. My sister and I both have new grandbabies due in the same week and I needed a cute pinwheel to make for them.
Thank you for sharing the pattern, your blog is awesome.
This is absolutely A. Dor. Able!!! Have been wanting to do prairie points, and this is the perfect one! Cannot wait to make it! Thanks for the clear and concise instructions!
This is so pretty! I can't resist, I am making a second one. Thank-you for this lovely design and tutorial!
I made this with batik fabrics... so CUTE! Thanks for the great pattern!
Wonderful Baby quilt - thanks
Just one query - how do you sew over the thick seams of your pinwheel blocks on your Elna. My Janome 6600 simply will not sew over these thick seams - tried all feet and changed pressure!! Now only use machine for FM!!

I love this little quilt especially with the prairie point and I have always wanted to try them on a quilt. Thanks to you I can!!! Woohoo!
Loved making this pattern for my friends who had a little baby girl called Yasmin weighing 7lb 15oz only yesterday, I had just given them the quilt on Thursday so it was good timing. They loved the finished result and I think that using Arcadia charm squares suited them much better!
Love this sweet little quilt, so fresh and simple looking...just lovely!!!
So excited -- am about to start making this quilt! Would you mind sharing what type of batting you used? It is my first baby quilt and I am unsure about the weight and what material of batting is best. Thanks!!
clicking on the blog link, it says ''for invited readers only'' :(
I LOVE this quilt and am hoping I can figure out how to make it bigger for my DD's first "big girl" bed!!
I have decided to make this baby quilt for a teacher, the prairie points are what grabbed me, can't wait :)
Found this site by accident, so glad I did! I love this pattern, it was just what I was looking for. I've got everything cut, going to start piecing the blocks together tomorrow. The instructions are so easy to follow and the pictures are great. This is definitely a must bookmark!
I made one and I LOVE it!!!

Thank you very much for a great tutorial!!!
I made this little quilt - it's absolutely adorable! The prairie points really make the difference. Thank you so much for this pattern and tutorial - easy to follow instructions and it was fun to make.
Love this quilt! I have finished the top for my granddaughter. Still has to be backed and quilted. I did make it bigger so it would fit her twin sized bed! Thanks so much for the pattern and instructions!
love your pinwheel baby quilt. love the beauty and simplicity of it. Will probably be doing this one sometimes in the future! Thanks!
This is so cute! I have used your instructions and made two of these and I appreciate you sharing with us :)
I just finished this quilt for my new grandaughter ..its beautiful and the tutorial was so clear it made it so easy to make ...Thank you :) Wendy
Super cute, and very easy! Great thorough tutorial!
Jodi, This is so adorable and I am going shopping to get the exact charm pack you used for this and make it for my granddaughter that is to arrive very soon! Your instructions are very clear and helpful! THANKS for sharing!
I love this, just what I was looking for! A baby pinwheel quilt that tidily uses a whole charm pack. Thank-you so much!
I just made this today, it is so lovely, it was going to be a gift, but I am keeping it after completing it. And I even used Moda fabric too. I am just so happy with it :)
I have lost count of how many times I have made this quilt...Everyone who receives it LOVES IT!!
I just finished making this and LOVE it!!! Thanks so much for your post. This was only my second time attempting to make a quilt but I have a feeling I'll be making a third again soon...maybe one for me!
Here's how it turned out:

Start to finish in under a week! Just finishing up the quilting then binding. You can see some pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chelsiecreates/8363911024/in/photostream
I was wondering why people liked the charm packs so much- now I see why! BEAUTIFUL!
Loved making this quilt! I used Riley Blake's Scoot for my charm pack. Thanks for the pattern. You can see my version here: http://sweetcraftylady.blogspot.com/2013/04/pinwheel-baby-quilt-with-prairie-points.html
Just finished the top for mine tonite and it's just so sweet! I made mine using Riley Blake's fabric charm pack called "the sweetest thing". And it is just so perfect! I will be making this one again!
