Another baby quilt finished in summer of 2010.  Some scraps were from the Little Blessings fabric line.  It's a floating star, which was the same pattern for the quilt I made for his big brother.

Scrappy backing, using up some little ones, too.

One more picture of this one--the other picture is small.

baby quilt for Caelin

I made this quilt for a friend from church and Girl Scouts. It is a scrappy quilt--I did not buy anything new for it, including the batting, which was pieced together from fairly large scraps.

The label is an experiment, as I have never done any embroidery before but would like to start!  The embroidery is free form, my first attempt at some stitches.  Bird was appliqued first and embroidery worked after.  The bird is done broderie perse, I believe it is called, where you cut out an image printed on fabric, and applique it.  It's from a fat quarter a friend bought for me a long time ago, probably 10+ years.  I have never figured out what to do with it, but here's a start.

Baby quilts

Here are two baby quilts. The star quilt has Little Blessings fabric in the centers--cannot get this fabric anymore and that's too bad! I always seem to find a fabric line after it's retired. That quilt was for my cousin's baby, born 2007; I was able to give it to them in March 2008, not too bad. The pinwheel quilt was made from the triangle scraps of the star quilt--even though they were small, I couldn't bear to throw them! I believe the half-square triangles were 2.25 inches finished. That quilt went to it's tiny owner in November 2008.

The backing is scrappy, which is the first time I've ever done that.  Usually I use one big piece or two pieces of fabric.
