Baby Quilt for a Boy

A boy it is.  And I am excited that my son and DIL asked me (well actually she asked me) to make them a quilt.  As they had the cat first, it had to be included...so I started with this picture fabric.

Then I liked the polka dots but lines go well with polka dots, right?

Nice, but a bit boring so I added some attic window frames....

Now, its cooking.  Borders are next.

Clara's Quilt is all Done - Yeah

So here it is finished.  Lovely, a citrus-y quilt for a fresh little one.

A Baby Quilt

My DD has commissioned me to quilt her baby quilt gift for her friend.  The top arrived in the mail today and after some photos of possible backings I spray basted the carcass together.  It's so sweet....

The Embroidered Babies

Here they are complete with borders... now with all the hand work on the top I'm wondering if I should hand quilt or machine....

Machine would be quicker maybe....what do you think??

Back Burner Babies

Here are some embroidered blocks my sister-in-law made.  When I was in the states last I saw this fabric and just KNEW it was for these blocks.  I am liking this block layout.  It seems more modern to me.

Another baby planned

And here it is, a layout for the soft and fuzzy blankie for a new little one.  Only six squares sewn together so far but it will go quickly...

Baby Shower Quilt

So have I been busy.  First I drew up the pictures for my Owlet quilt.  I started this in January - a new year's project.  My son offered much help with the critique and he encouraged me to make every block different.  

So this is the final block in the simple story of the Owlet Quilt.  Finally done.

Yeah, me...

Hope you are having a grand weekend and that the snow is melting where you are :)
