Bright Girly baby quilt


Another beautiful baby born, another girly quilt called for!



I began by creating long strings of pinky pretty fabrics and then cutting them into strips. 


I also worked on blocks and placements that would create contrast to 'sing' but still work all together.
I found this challenging. 


So I auditioned lots of fabrics. 


While putting the blocks together, messes happen. 

Auditioning for the back


Making my decision and then creating the label. I used a sweet flannel that I had for the binding because she may be one of those babies that like to rub soft fabrics. You never know!
And I also decided that hand embroidery on the blocks was also called for, since I can never leave well enough alone. Hope she enjoys it in great health and happiness for years!

    1. Thanks so much Shellie. I am so appreciative of you checking out what I make and supporting my efforts. I still feel that I am experimenting with different ideas all the time, and never really know where I will end up with each project, but I do enjoy the journey.
