Ladybug Twist & Shout
My granddaughter's nursery is decorated in ladybugs. I designed this fun quilt for her room with flower-pot pinwheels and ladybugs dancing all over the quilt. The flower pots are done with a little bit of simple paper piecing. I used large rick-rack for the flower stems and a bright button for the pinwheel centers.. The ladybugs are appliqued and their anntenae are embroidered. I added a piano key border using the leftover fabrics.
