The Baby Quilt

 
Posted by Picasa
Good Morning Friends~I hope you had a great afternoon yesterday; the concert at the lake last night was fine, it was supposed to be Swing(not)but it was such a pretty evening to sit and enjoy our small town. Earlier in the afternoon, our oldest and her kiddos stopped by, so this Nana could see the baby. I got to hold her, she is still so very tiny and delicate, almost like a flower. I showed my girl the quilt top and she thought it was so sweet that the outside border is some material from the last baby quilt I made for Miss E's sister Miss A. I decided that I will quilt daisies on it because the back fabric is tan, with Daisies and also the centers are pink and tie into the front. The focal fabric I had found several years ago is so cute and the pattern I was using was going to make the quilt too big, so I opted to keep it crib size. Which means it will get done sooner-yippee! I have one Daisy pattern but it is small so need to hunt one down. I wasn't going to post the pic of the front yet but decided I might as well. I'm off to bible study this morning and then tonight we have my Kim and her kiddos over for a bbq. I hope you have a wonderful day today and fabulous weekend.
 Hugs,
Noreen & Hunter

  2. I LOVE the quilt! Soo sweet and pretty. I love the colors. I'd love to be able to look at it up close and personal now that I have been watching soo many tutorials and thinking about doing this myself, haha. Soo many questions. Did I understand you correctly...you use a pattern to quilt the daisies on? I am wondering how that works. Enjoy your day Noreen!

  6. How very sweet that there's fabric from her sister's baby quilt! Like I said, it's an adorable quilt ... I love the fabrics and colors you chose. I'm becoming a big fan of pink and brown together, and seeing this quilt has confirmed that. ;-) I can't wait to see it when you've got it quilted.
