birthday quilt for baby f




Check out this fun new quilt, I just finished it last week. It is a birthday gift commissioned by a mom for her sweet girl. She brought me lots of baby clothes, many of which hold special memories for the family. One of the pink plaid outfits was what the baby wore to meet extended family for the first time! I used these clothes to make the blocks for this quilt top. I was also able to use some of the flowers and decorative pieces from some of her clothing to add texture and visual interest.
I quilted it myself on the long arm machine; I have been getting lots of quilting practice lately. Soon I will have "mad meandering skills" like my cousin Robin, The Tipsy Quilter.
