It has taken me a while, but I finally have the patterns written up for the Groovy Baby (photo above) and Funky Buttons quilts. I had to do them together because the Funky Buttons quilt (see photo below) was a bonus project using left overs from the Groovy Baby pattern. Of course, you don't have to make them both in order to do one. If you just want to make the Funky Buttons quilt, you can just follow the applique directions for the Groovy Baby quilt only reversing the colors. That is, cut the applique shape out of your white "background" fabric and apply it to a colored square.
If you have any questions, please just ask. I am not a professional pattern writer. While my directions make sense to me, I understand that they may not to clear to anyone else.
Here are the patterns. I am not sure how this works (or if it will work). Supposedly, you can upload files to Google Docs and then link to them in your blog. We'll see if I can do this. Please let me know whether or not the link works for you. If you really want the pattern and I can't get the link to work, I will just email it to you.

Lynn, it worked for me! Way to go! That is an awesome couple of quilts! I love it. I am really impressed that you (a) designed the quilt yourself, and (b) wrote a pattern to give away. Both of those are goals of mine, but I have never been brave enough to attempt either. Kudos to you, and thank you so much for sharing. I really love the baby quilt!
What a cute pattern, thanks for the pattern...can I post about this?
Glad you like it Barb. You may post about it too.
They are excellent patterns!
Great idea Barb had. Can I post about it, too, Lynn?
Absolutely Stephanie! Thanks for the exposure.
Thank YOU! Off to do it now!
How very cute and innovative! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing the pattern, I've made one VERY simple quilt so far, but love the look of yours so might have to put that at the top of the quilting TO DO list! Hugs Naomi
Gracias Por el Patrón, Una Vez Que si lo Traduzca Tengo Dudas escribire un Correo tu, si no es molestia, claro. Un abrazo
Naomi - I'd love to see a picture if you make one! The quilt is fairly simple to make with some basic piecing knowledge and basic applique skills. I'm not a professional pattern writer though so it may not be clear enough for a beginner. If you have questions, just ask.
Thx for the patterns. The d/l worked perfectly.
Thank you so much for sharing! This is one adorable quilt!
Very cute and unusual! Thank you.

Beautiful! Thank you!
Many thanks for the free patterns - much appreciated !
These are great -- they remind me of old Christmas ornaments from the 1950s, groovy indeed!
