For my very first foray into the quilting world, my best friend asked me to make her daughter a My Little Pony quilt. Since I have a boy, I was slightly thrilled to bask in the pink and purply world of little girls.
For this quilt, MLP fabric was scarce; only one cotton print was available. To supplement the fabric, I ordered a set of cheap sheets which turned out to be polyester (ugh!). I decided to use them anyway, albeit sparingly. Those are the larger ponies on the left. I found a stripe fabric that had all the colors I represented as well to tie it all together. Below are the fabrics I used and where I got them from:
Walmart: My Little Pony sheets
Etsy: Hasbro My Little Pony fabric
Joann: Kona Cotton Solid - Crocus Purple
Joann: Solid - Bright Pink (Would have loved to use Kona but couldn't find a comparable color)
Hawthorne Threads: Riley Blake Designs - Doddlebug Designs - Lovey Dovey Collection - Stripes in Purple
Hawthorne Threads: Aurifil - Violet #2520 in 40wt
Below is a photo of the quilt top. In the future, I will try to remember to take a photo after its quilted and bound (and not on my floor!).
All in all, not bad for my first foray into quilting!
