Jodi Nelson made this sweet little baby quilt and wrote a tutorial for Moda Bake Shop. She used a charm pack to make her pinwheels but of course using up leftovers from your stash works equally well. Jodi came up with a very creative detail that makes this quilt special: she added Prairie Points to an inner border. Prairie Points, in case you are not familiar with the term, are folded fabric triangles that are usually added to the outer border of a quilt instead of traditional binding. But of course they can go anywhere on a quilt, as Jodi’s Pinwheel Baby Quilt shows.

Dieser süße Babyquilt wurde von Jodi Nelson genäht, und die Anleitung gibt es als Tutorial beim Moda Bake Shop (auf Englisch, aber gut bebildert). Sie hat für die Blöcke ein Charm Pack verwendet, aber wie immer lassen sich natürlich auch eigene Reste dafür gut verarbeiten. Jodi hat das einfache Muster mit einem sehr kreativen Detail aufgepeppt, indem sie Prairie Points in einem inneren Rand verarbeitet hat. Wer mit Prairie Points nicht vertraut ist, das sind gefaltete Dreiecke aus Stoff, die sonst eher außen herum einen Quilt verschönern, anstelle eines traditionellen Bindings. Aber wie Jodi hier zeigt, können Prairie Points selbstverständlich überall in einem Quilt verwendet werden.

     Sorry, Cathy, unfortunately there is nothing I can do. Moda seems to be doing some rearranging on their website, and I don’t have the pattern, I was just linking to it. They say to check back often as they will move all their older patterns to the archive. It sounds like it will be available again eventually.
