Fussy Cut Motifs Add Whimsy to the Balloons!
Hot air balloons often appear in the sky near our home during the warm weather months. We always run out to watch them, especially in the evening when they’re drifting low looking for a landing spot. There’s just something magical about watching these colorful gravity defying objects float against the sky.
Designer FlavorPink captures the fun and color of hot air balloons in this little quilt. We love the whimsical designs created by careful fabric selection and placement. Can’t you imagine an actual balloon with a cat on the side?
No size is indicated for this little quilt. Regardless, you can make a small quilt as shown here, or incorporate the blocks into something larger. The balloons would be especially nice incorporated into a baby or child’s quilt.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you! PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
