The bookies got it right ...

It's all in the name. The royals have chosen a name for the newest arrival and it is as predicted ... Princess Charlotte.

So, the closest I could get to that was to feature a quilt block called Queen Charlotte's Crown. It's all royalty after all, and perhaps she will actually be a queen someday.

This quilt block is also appropriate for today, which is Cinco de Mayo, celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month. What is the connection you ask? Well this block is a five patch in construction, meaning it is created on a 5 x 5 grid.

This block is not seen all that often, and in fact it was new to me when I created the pattern. I find it is always fun to try something new, so perhaps you will enjoy it as well.
