It is Quilt Market time…you may have noticed how some of the regular quilty bloggers have been neglecting their audience….including me! Sorry.
My inspiration…
When I first saw, Sandi Henderson Farmer’s Market line from Michael Miller, I knew I found the fabric to make the next Threaded Pear Studio pattern, Charming Baby Log Cabin!
And then, I am always on the scout for good boy fabrics and I discovered Marcus Brother’s cowboy fabric, "American West", by Faye Burgos. (Both my grandpas were cowboys and ranchers in Idaho!) I made my “boy version” with big prairie points instead of scallops… I learned how to make Prairie Points from an Alex Anderson tutorial.
Just thought I would share my very own sneak peek of my new pattern. Photos by my favorite photo man, Gregory Case.
Pattern will be shipping in mid-November-check your your local quilt shop.
Make a comment and WIN a quilt kit and pattern!
Make a comment and win a “Charming Baby Log Cabin” Kit which includes everything to make this sample shown, plus the pattern! You can choose boy or girl version.
Make a comment by Sunday, Oct. 19 at midnight Pacific time to be placed in the drawing.
I have another contest going on in my previous post...make a comment there to win a new Indygo Junction book!

A kit sounds perfect! Just the pattern and I might get stuck in the fabric selection stage :)

Ooooh, I love that pattern. And it's so fun to see different versions of it!
Posted by: Thimbleanna | October 7, 2008 7:49 PM
Wow, what a cute little quilt! My nephew just turned one and I promised a "useable" quilt to him for Christmas. One he can drag around. His mom wants to keep the one I made him for his birth to hand down to his children.... I know, she likes to plan ahead, LOL.
This looks PERFECT for a child's "blankie"!!! So simple I could probably whip up a few! That way when mom is washing one, he still has his blankie to cuddle up with. Great pattern and really cute looking quilts!

This quilt is so precious! My daughter-in-law just told me today that she'd like to learn to quilt. She and my son are expecting their first child next spring! What a wonderful gift it would make for her!!

What a great quick quilt! So cute!
Posted by: SarahB | October 7, 2008 8:13 PM
what a cute pattern..I don't, as a general rule, even LIKE log cabin as a pattern, but yours is very nice!
Posted by: Suze | October 7, 2008 8:51 PM
Oh this is just beautiful! I love that it can be pieced in 2 hours, perfect for my ADD brain! :)
Posted by: Ricki | October 7, 2008 9:03 PM
I love the fancy borders along side the traditional log cabin.
Posted by: Sarah | October 7, 2008 9:13 PM
*drool* I LOVE the new Farmers Market materials... and that baby log cabin quilt is SOOOOOO ADORABLE! I would LOVE to have that.... My eyes are filling with tears over the sheer awesomeness of it! *wink* :)

cute pattern . Linda Gerig
Posted by: Linda Gerig | October 7, 2008 9:22 PM
Very, very cute quilt blocks. I would so love to make one.....or both. I love that you have something for a boy. I often want to make gifts for the male types and this would be perfect!
Thanks for your generosity, your work is just lovely.
Posted by: Alisa | October 7, 2008 9:24 PM

Posted by: Sarah Galbraith | October 7, 2008 9:48 PM
I love how you used the Farmer's Market fabrics in your new Charming Log Cabin quilt. Very cute!
Posted by: Pauline | October 7, 2008 10:46 PM
I love the pattern! Easy to sew, and lots of nice areas to highlight quilting...but it would look equally great with an over-all stipple design, too! FUN give-a-way!!
Posted by: Cynthia | October 8, 2008 12:56 AM
I love the fabric choices for these baby quilts and I love the fact that it can be pieced quickly.
Posted by: Alice S | October 8, 2008 2:30 AM
I love the quilt --the fabric and the pattern. I especially like that it's not made with "baby" fabric. It looks easy to make and modern. So charming!!!
Posted by: Susan | October 8, 2008 3:41 AM
oh my, that is adorable!
Posted by: jen in pa | October 8, 2008 3:49 AM
Beautiful! I would love to quilt with these fabrics!!!

I love your new quilt pattern. It looks easy to make and is so charming.
Posted by: Phyllis Dobbs | October 8, 2008 5:20 AM
That's a great-looking pattern. It almost makes me want to have a baby around again.
Posted by: Anya | October 8, 2008 5:26 AM
Wow! Between Theaded Pears' darling fabrics and your "Baby Log Cabin" name for the quilts~ these are delightful! I'm just learning to do log cabin designs, so this "Baby" larger concept is great! Helps me see what is what and where is where! Thanks! Joani B
Posted by: Joani B | October 8, 2008 6:05 AM
What a great pattern! I can see I could make several pretty quickly and all be so different,great idea! Please enter my name for the drawing!
Posted by: Bonnie | October 8, 2008 6:06 AM

I love those scalloped edges!
Posted by: nettie | October 8, 2008 6:22 AM
My grandparents were cowboys in Idaho, too! My maternal grandpa just passed away this summer while he was busy doing cowboy things. I'm now expecting a new baby boy who will be named after my cowboy grandpa. A cowboy quilt to wrap him up in would be perfect and full of wonderful memories for our new little guy!!
Posted by: jessica | October 8, 2008 6:29 AM
What a great looking quilt. simple, easy and quick...love them both..
Posted by: Nancy | October 8, 2008 6:37 AM
This is great - I love both of them!
What a beautiful job!

Posted by: Elizabeth M in MA | October 8, 2008 6:42 AM
Both of those quilts are darling! We've been having a "run" on baby boys around here...so I would know exactly which kit I'd pick...if so lucky. Looks like a terrific pattern for any collection of fabric!
Posted by: Darcie | October 8, 2008 7:04 AM
It seems like all of our friends are having babies this year so a quilt kit would be great for making a gift!
Posted by: Emily S. | October 8, 2008 7:38 AM

Wow, what a cute pattern for a baby quilt! I like them both but am a sucker for the girlie stuff. Aww! Count me in...
Posted by: Zegi | October 8, 2008 8:56 AM
This is such a fun pattern--I love that there is a version for boys too--great idea. I'm really into scallops lately and they sure make this quilt special!
Posted by: Karen in Breezy | October 8, 2008 8:58 AM
How generous! I love the Sandy Henderson fabric and the scallops. :) Good Luck at the market!
Posted by: Katie R | October 8, 2008 9:03 AM
How fun! What a great quilt pattern!
Posted by: Valerie | October 8, 2008 9:03 AM
I love those quilts! Such a nice quick top to piece for a gift, but the scallops add a very nice touch.
Posted by: Ginger | October 8, 2008 9:43 AM
Both of those quilts are adorable. It's amazing how cute fabric, and a great pattern can make such an easy quilt so amazingly cute.
Posted by: Angela | October 8, 2008 9:59 AM
I love the pattern and quilts. I have always wanted to try and do a scallop border. The colors are beautiful. And what a fun little boys quilt.

Too Cute!! As a mom of a 6 month old baby boy, I've been looking at baby blankets for months now it seems and those are the cuttest that I have seen! Even if I don't win your contest I'm going to definately buy the pattern. They're that cute!
Posted by: Misty | October 8, 2008 11:49 AM
Love it! It doesn't look complicated, and I like the variations with the different fabrics. Changes the look totally. So cute!
Posted by: Tammy Mabry | October 8, 2008 12:26 PM
That is a quick, cute quilt. I'd love to make one like this for my son.
Posted by: Maya | October 8, 2008 12:31 PM
Your quilts are so ADORABLE!! These baby quilts are to die for!
Way to go Gina!
Posted by: Chris | October 8, 2008 12:37 PM
So cute - and so simple! Could also be wonderful for a lap quilt with a quick change of fabrics...
Posted by: Michelle | October 8, 2008 12:38 PM
How cute are those quilts! I need cute simple patterns just like that!
Posted by: Dawn | October 8, 2008 1:33 PM
They look fabulous Gina. You go girl!!!
Jamie and mom both love their charming log cabin quilts. We did a fun pillow to match Jamie's quilt with her scraps.
Posted by: Jersey Joni | October 8, 2008 2:14 PM
How totally clever of you to put scallops and points on the ends. Seems like I should have thought of that, but noooooo. :)
Posted by: Min | October 8, 2008 3:00 PM
I have the Charming Log Cabin pattern at home to make a quilt for ME after the holidays! I love it with the Farmer's Market fabrics as I just made a baby quilt of a different design with those fabrics, too. I am feeling so inspired lately!
Posted by: Jamie AZ | October 8, 2008 3:02 PM
Love the fabric and the design.
Posted by: Anna McD | October 8, 2008 3:32 PM
I love this. I just found out last night that a friend of mine is going to have a baby. This would be perfect!!
Posted by: Kristin | October 8, 2008 3:45 PM
Sooo cute! Thanks for sharing :)
Posted by: Amy @ parkcitygirl | October 8, 2008 4:02 PM
Both of those quilts are really nice. I really love how you finished the top and bottom of each quilt. (scallop &prairie points)
Posted by: Carrie P. | October 8, 2008 4:25 PM
I just love the prairie points on the boy version! Such wonderful quilts. :)
Posted by: Robin | October 8, 2008 5:05 PM
My youngest sister, after 12 YEARS of trying, is having her first baby. We find out October 10th, what the sex of the baby will be. She would love this quilt!!!! Of course, she would love it even more, since I would be the one making it!!! :)
Posted by: Becky | October 8, 2008 5:12 PM
what a novel approach to log cabin! i love both versions, but think the cowboy theme is something i could easily saddle up to
Posted by: rebecca | October 8, 2008 6:59 PM
That looks so quick and easy! I don;t suppose there are plans for a neutral one though?
Posted by: Virginia Hendricks | October 8, 2008 7:34 PM
I love those patterns! Looks so easy and I would love to make a baby quilt with it! I really like the cowboy themed one - a good way to use those types of fabrics without toooo much work!

I like the pattern its cute and looks very easiy. I LOVE Log Cabins. The fabrics are pretty.
Posted by: Tish | October 9, 2008 1:41 AM
I have been wanting to make the Charming Log cabin for a while. A baby version is a super great idea!

This quilt has smile appeal! Cindy B
Posted by: Cindy B | October 9, 2008 10:17 AM
My best friend just had a baby girl, at 25 weeks, and I would love to make something for her and her new baby, as they fight together to get her home soon. I am stuck with what to make, so a kit would be a big help. She is 1 pound, 8 ounces and in the NICU. Anyone reading this, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Posted by: Karen | October 9, 2008 11:03 AM
I love these quick patterns that you have developed. Great for us working people and busy mom's! I especially am fond of the "boy" quilt as you don't see enough of them shown. Us Grandma's with grandsons are always on the lookout for a great boy print.
Posted by: Deborah S. | October 9, 2008 11:24 AM
I love the girl one and I LOVE that it can be made so quickly. I hope I win!
Posted by: Alicia S | October 9, 2008 7:03 PM
Isn't that too cute! And the fabrics work perfectly. Though, as both sets are totally different you can really seee how this would work up as a darling quilt with tons of different fabrics. Fab!
Posted by: Jenn | October 9, 2008 8:20 PM
Gina,
Love it! we have been anxiously awaiting its arrival in the shop!!! Send them to me asap!! Check out my blog for the charming log cabin in Ava Rose fabrics.

Fabulous quilts. They're totally something I could do!
Posted by: Stacy | October 10, 2008 7:12 AM
I seem to be making a lot of quilts for babies and small children, both as gifts and donations. I love the log cabin block, my favorite, and I really love what you have done with it. Thank you for the ideas.
Posted by: Maureen Flax | October 10, 2008 7:16 AM
The first quilt I made was a log cabin and I've loved the design ever since. This pattern is adorable. I would love to make it.

Posted by: Cory | October 11, 2008 10:01 AM
It is very pretty. I don't have much patience, I love quick quilts, and it doesn't look too hard. I love to quilt when I have time even though I'm not real good at it.
Posted by: Janet | October 11, 2008 2:01 PM
What a great design!
Posted by: kathi pinkston | October 11, 2008 4:58 PM

I absolutely LOVE what you have done in the examples. They are fantastic. I have a friend that had a boy and loves golf. I bought a bunch of coordinating golf themed fabrics and I need this pattern. It would be perfect. Thank you for letting me enter!
Posted by: Angie Hofmann | October 12, 2008 7:10 PM
I just LOVE the pink one with the scallops, just beautiful!

I love that this is a quick quilt, a great one for Project Linus quilts. Thanks.
Posted by: Kathie Laposata | October 13, 2008 10:38 AM
My friend just announced yesterday that she is expecting. I was wondering what pattern I would use and this looks like it! I'm so glad you did a boy's version. It's fun to see the same pattern made up in different ways. Your Threaded Pear patterns are so fun and easy and quick to make for gifts!
Posted by: Rene Clumpner | October 13, 2008 10:58 AM
Oh my!!! I love BOTH of those Charming Log Cabin baby quilts!!! I think I NEEEEED to make them. I have your Charming Log Pattern quilt and this would be a GREAT one to have as well. I would really like to whip up a quick but beautiful quilt,=.
Posted by: CJ | October 13, 2008 4:07 PM
I love the quilt design. I am always looking for new, quicker, but clever settings for baby quilts. Right now I have saved numerous cowboy fabric for a quilt and this would be absolutely perfect.
I certainly enjoy reading your blog!
Thank you
Posted by: ajp | October 14, 2008 12:40 PM
I'm always looking for "boy" patterns that are quick and easy. I think the cowboy fabric is really showcased in this one. Great job!
Posted by: Eileen Kicken | October 14, 2008 6:06 PM
They are just too beautiful. I MUST do them for the future grandkids. lol

Way to go!! Maybe I'll be your winner!

I saw this pattern at the Pomona Quilt show, and my first thought was "Grandchildren and friends' babies Christmas and birthday presents - FAST!"
What a great design.
Posted by: Della Robinson | October 19, 2008 11:28 PM
Darn - too late for the drawing -- But I love the pattern! I'm planning on using the American West fabric in our nursery. I was going to scale down the American West quilt pattern on the Marcus brother's site... but this one makes more sense to me for a baby quilt....
Posted by: Kim | October 21, 2008 10:37 AM
I wonder when the drawing for the prize will take place? The deadline was the 19th...but when will the drawing will be held? Can you tell that I'd like to win! :)
Posted by: Cynthia | October 21, 2008 10:57 PM
I absolutely love these quick quilts! The color selection and style are both great. OK so now I'm getting ready to make one myself. Thanks
