One of my son's close friends is going to be a father. I still can't get used to the idea that these boys are actually old enough! He was married this past fall and he and his wife are looking forward to a baby girl. I knew I had to make them something so I decided on this cute little quilt. I found the pattern on Pinterest. It measures about 49" X 56". This quilt is made up of half square triangles and was fast to make!
I was looking for a background when I came across this fabric. They're naming their baby Eloise and I thought this fabric was perfect! It comes out sometime this month. So, I'm trying to be patient and wait for the backing. I bought it from Hancock's of Paducah. I can't wait to start quilting this! I have so many ideas right now.
So adorable and such pretty colors...love the Eloise fabric--how neat that you found it!!
ReplyDeleteI tried machine quilting my "109 Little Sqs," and it didn't come out very well!! I am not good at it..
I tried a diagonal cross hatch--some wider and some wavey lines--oops!! Well, I will not remove it all--it will just be a lesson...;((( hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Julierose! It took me a while to get okay at machine quilting. It's so hard to do on your domestic machine. I bet your quilting looks better than you think!
DeleteSuch a pretty baby quilt, your mix of bolder colours - the purples - really add something quite different from the usual all pink or all blue for baby quilts.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Maureen! I heard her nursery was going to be bright so I thought I'd make a bright quilt!
