Machine pieced and hand quilted, this one is for baby Quinn. The focal point of the quilt is the floral fabric with gorgeous corals and reds and the that amazing turquoise that's just the right shade. Sorry, everyone, I picked it up in Tokyo and didn't get enough to share!
Machine pieced and hand quilted. A modern baby quilt for little Macey. The white is an Egyptian cotton which makes this blanket feel so luxurious. The fabric on back is by Joel Dewberry and of course you can see some Amy Butler in the front pieces. Finished size 36 x 36".
In the close-up, you can see how the hand-quilting washes up. . . I love the way it puckers and bunches, it adds so much texture and interest to the fabric, and by the way its not nearly as tedious or time-consuming as it sounds. I can hand-quilt a baby quilt in about 3 or 4 hours, that's just a couple Law&Orders. I don't use frames, I just pin it well and then sit with it on my lap in while the hubs and I spend some quality time together in front of the TV.
Little Will's quilt has pieces of fabric from some of his Dad's old shirts as well as a couple Japanese fabrics to tie it all together. The hippo fabric on back comes from Ikea.
A simple but beautiful blanket with that eye-catching print on back and a soft flannel on front. Small, raw-edged applique just for kicks. I'm a total sucker for unusual color combos like this. . .
