I have selected from one of my finishes this year...
Favorite Baby Quilt!
Size: 52" square
Fusible Applique
Designed, Pieced and Quilted by Mary Brown Crowther
Tyscanny by Hobbs Batting
June-July 2013
I call it Be-Ribboned because of the multicolored Ribbon border
This quilt started out with these fabrics.
A colorful print Border fabric with fat quarters in colors that are in the print.
Dots are perfect for a Baby!
I loved cutting it out with the Baby Go Cutter that I received as one of the Sponsor's gifts from the 2011 McCall's Quilt Design Star. I changed the flowers to use the GO Baby.
It went together very quick, having made this Original Pattern before for that Contest.
Started June 17 and completed July 26th (The day after this baby girl joined our family)
I tried to emulate the same quilting that the Original quilt had on it-

It wasn't easy but I'm happy with how it turned out in the end.
My favorite part ...
Seeing my Cute New Grand-daughter lying on it,
(I made her Blessing Dress, too)
almost as good as seeing the back with the quilting in the sunlight.
I have started making it again and expanding it - maybe for another cute girl...
The Festival goes from October 25-Nov 8 2013

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is so darling! And a beautiful babe, too.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! What a doll. Your granddaughter is so loved to have a beautiful dress and a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
I agree with each comment! :) She is a beautiful baby, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! I love the quilt, it's my favorite too. I'll have to be more careful about "encouraging her" to carry it around, so it can stay in such great shape, because it's perfect!
