A Dainty Show Up Quilt Top

I paired some softer colors with a favorite green floral to make a dainty Show Up quilt top.  It was fun to make something for a little girl.

Show Up is a 48″ version of my 72″ Serve Quilt Pattern, and the smaller size is included in the pattern.  My first version of Show Up was bold:

I toned down the color in this new one and made it more feminine.  I love the way the corner stars look like little white flowers, or a crown of daisies around the star.

The Serve and Show Up quilts are a fun pattern to make – a great way to master half rectangle triangles WITHOUT a special ruler.  Learn a simple trimming technique and you’re on your way!

I’m revisiting the Serve pattern next month. I’ll teach how to make this pattern at The Quilted Beehive, a darling quilt shop in Ogden Utah.  Their new classroom space is awesome. If you will be in Utah on September 21st, I would love for you to join us!  You can make whichever size you prefer.

But, back to my dainty show up quilt top.  I’ll quilt it and send it off to a sweet baby girl born recently.  Hopefully she, as well as her lovely mom, will enjoy it.
