Baby Quilt for Audrey

 My sister in law commissioned me to make this quilt for a friend of hers.  I was super excited when they choose this design. 

The colors they wanted were purple.  Purple was hard for me because I am not a purple person, but with the help of my little girl who loves purple, we were able to find a delicious pallet of purple fabrics.

 The back is super soft and fuzzy Minkie.  I love the way the quilting textured the back.

My favorite part of this quilt is the fuzzy brown bear.  I appliquéd him on and them did a really thick zig-zag stitch around him (he is not going any where :0).

 I also quilted her name at the bottom of the quilt.

UFO #36: Melissa's Baby Quilt

Back before Christmas my cousin Melissa asked me to make a quilt for her new baby.  Of course I would do it, any excuse to make a quilt is great to me! :0)  The fun part was, she already had the fabrics for it.  I love the colors she chose and I love the way they all go together.

She chose a simple pinwheel pattern contrasted with white (my new favorite contrast color).  I love how the white makes the quilt look so modern and clean.

I chose to do a scrappy binding.  And the quilting was done by Barbie Mills.  She did a wonderful job, doing the all over loop design.  I actually studied this quilt and traced it with my fingers over and over so that I could learn to quilt this pattern. 

This quilt has been finished since January, but Melissa's family has been sick for the last couple months so I hadn't been able to get it to her.  Finally we arranged a play date. And now this cute little girl has her quilt.

 

Thanks Melissa for letting me make a quilt for your beautiful baby girl!
