Cut pieces in the following order.

From each solid pink, solid green, solid lavender, pink stripe, green stripe, and lavender stripe plush fabric, cut:

Referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram, lay out solid pink, pink stripe, solid green, green stripe, solid lavender, and lavender stripe 7×28" strips in a row. Using 1/2" seams, join strips to make quilt top. Finger-press seams in one direction. The quilt top should be 28×37" including seam allowances.

2) Quilt as desired. Designer Julie Hendricksen stitched an allover heart and scroll pattern across this quilt.

3) Bind with lavender print flannel binding strips.
