I have been wanting to make a baby version of my Spin! pattern for quite some time. When I teach this pattern, I always talk about this variation but until now, I never had a visual sample.
I made this version out of pink, orange and yellow scraps.
With the scrappy border, the quilt measures 52" square.
I used a white thread to quilt some swirls that would disappear into the Kona White I used for the background. A bright orange solid was found in my stash for the binding.
I decided to go with a pink backing with sweet white flowers.
It is certainly happy and bright!
And here is a photo of the pattern quilt.
(Of course now that I compare them, I see that I stitched the little one up with the swirl going the other way - that is what happens when you don't read your own pattern...Yeesh!)
Oh well, they both look great!

I keep intending to make that pattern. Maybe next year.
AWESOME addition to your class samples!!
This is so cute!
Both quilts are beautiful! Your baby quilt pattern wasn't a mistake, it was a new design element!!
I love both of these and it has nothing to do with the fact that they are both in my favorite colors. ;^)
That is the neatest design! I love the bright, happy color, and the movement in the quilt! Glad you got a baby size completed for your class sample. Are you teaching it soon?
That is a great quilt and fabulous design, Cynthia! Both versions are so dynamic. And who says you can’t have the swirls go the other way! Design options!!
I love it! It's just gorgeous. It feels good to finally make something that has been in your head for so long!
Fabulous colors for a baby quilt! And of course your design is so fun and bouncy :)
A warm version to go with the cool version, a great way to show off the pattern. Congrats on a beautiful finish.
They are both gorgeous!
And it looks fine going the other way too! I just did the same exact thing this past week on one of my table runners...design choice!
Both are very pretty!
I really like the baby version. Your colors are just outstanding!! And its okay to have them swirl two different ways - so the flexibility of the pattern!
Such lovely colors! I love seeing both versions.
This finish really shows the versatility of the pattern. The original in blues and grays makes for a lovely modern finish, and sure enough, just changing out the palette creates a quilt that's perfect for a kiddo. With its generous size, it's a project that will be loved for years. Well done!
I love the colours in the top quilt. Well done.
I love both versions of the quilt. The smaller one has such bright, happy colors.
