Welcome to the world!
Celebrating the Arrival of a Sister
Mom's favorite colour is yellow and so that became the focus. When I created the squares in the squares it seemed a bit dull so I cut each one on the diagonal and it began to dance a bit. I like the way the darks and the lights create extra patterns.

So I decided to add a prairie point border with all the yellows. This way, when she gets a bit older, she can play with the triangles along the edge. I put a darker border behind the prairie points so they could pop forward a bit.
Detail: showing you the corner treatment with the quilting. I did simple quilting in the ditch. I find that if the quilting is too dense, the quilt becomes stiff and less cozy.

The label on the back was created using a satin stitch.
And for the big sister who is begining to understand letters, especially those in her name .....
I made a little banner in a similar colour way that has beads dangling from the flags and a custom binding across the top that will serve as the hanging tool.
The family has chosen the spot to hang her banner!
So happy to have my work landing in such a loving environment!
