Peter Rabbit Quilt, Book Adventures

The Book Adventures (Peter Rabbit is my name for the quilt) kit was the next project to be sewn in 2025. I purchased the kit at Caroline's during my birthday outing, Donna did too. (Blogger decided this first paragraph needed to be center for some reason.)


This quilt sewed together fast. The directions are well written and my quilt ended up the same size as the pattern, 60" by 67" which doesn't always happen.

At Caroline's I also purchased a store kit to make a compassion quilt. That kit was pieced in October. Do you see a trend happening with my birthday shopping? Yes, I ended up buying three kits altogether, two at Carolines's and one at Lolly's.

Now all three kits have been pieced. One is completely finished while the compassion quilt and Peter will be machine quilted by me next summer along with several other small quilts.

Dear Gretchen, Kits are a great way to make a quilt and know we have all the fabrics and patterns to make them. I never buy them, yet in November last year it is exactly what I did. A huge fan of Peter Rabbit, love the books on the corners.

That is such a cute quilt! Love the colors, and the panel is adorable.

Cute, cute quilt top, Gretchen!!! And I can totally relate to blogger deciding to center a paragraph (!?!) and kits not always turning out the size it says!

Sweet quilt. 🩷 blogger has a mind of its own and can be very frustrating. 😔 Thanks for sharing in TGIFF.

Adorable quilt. Has a cool vintage vibe. Glad to know I’m not the only one that has a problem with Blogger at times.

I can see why you were drawn to this kit. I loved that rascal Peter sneaking into Farmer MacGregor's garden when I was young. Brings back fond memories.
