Hopscotch & Freckles Zoey's Car Quilt - Free Pattern

 Poppie Cotton has a fun new collection available, Hopscotch & Freckles.  The collection is, bright, fun, and playful.  It has darling prints of little girls doing chores, pinwheels, strawberries, sweet words, and teeny tiny floral prints.  In addition there are the cutest stitching postcards prints.

I decided to use the collection to make a sweet quilt to wrap up my youngest grand daughter in as I carry her out of day care into my car as well as to snuggle her in the car seat.  

I used the stitching card as the centers for each of these very simple blocks.
