Without further ado...
58" x 76"

I added little yo-yo's with red buttons to embellish the white band along the front!
I'm not sure how long they will last, since Emma has already started picking them off. But at least I have a few pictures of them on there!
Behind the yo-yo's I free-motion quilted little ladybugs!!!
I didn't even use a stencil, just threw caution to the wind and went for it!
I even did that along the thick red outer border, but you couldn't see it in the photo, so here's a picture of the back of the quilt to show how I quilted that section.
It is currently in the washing machine and I'm PRAYING like crazy that those red fabrics don't bleed! I pre-washed everything before I started making this quilt AND I added a Shout Color Catcher, so HOPEFULLY it won't bleed.
And what do you do with the scraps???
Make coasters!
CROCHETED GOODIES:
I finished up the rainbow blanket for the baby and thought she might need a matching pillow. (Free pattern found HERE)
Can you stand the cuteness?!?!?!
I absolutely love these!
And look at the texture on the pillow! I think the baby is really going to love playing with this.
Emma's room was quickly being over run by stuff animals, so I crocheted a toy hammock. (Free pattern found HERE)

AFTER
And just for fun, I made a few little butterflies. (Free pattern found HERE)
So what's next on the agenda you say??? Glad you asked!
Time to start decorating the baby's room!!! Going with an owl theme this time. I bought this adorable wall decal sticker display:
And this fabric:
Woodland Tails by Sheri Berry
(Riley Blake)
To make this crib quilt:
I also bought this cute owl cross stitch pattern and haven't decided if I'll make it a pillow or frame it.
And if ALL of THAT doesn't keep me busy, then I will attack my stack of unfinished projects from last year.
One last photo for the post, my cute little munchkin
She says, "Hey!"
You rock girl! Your quilting is wonderful. You have really made 43 quilts since 2010? Oh my..............
ReplyDeleteTHanks!! I still have a lot to learn and need way more practice with the free-motion stuff, but I'm enjoying the process a lot more. I couldn't believe I'd made 43 either. Granted most of them weren't this big. Most were crib size or a little bigger. I absolutely love this hobby though!
DeleteWow! I love the quilt it is absolutly beautiful .
ReplyDeleteand the baby's room looks so bright and cheery. You are very talented . Love you Grandma Jill
Loving the free motion lady bugs ... no buggy's perfect! You did a great job. You're so brave! You might try a whip stitch around the yoyos. Or zigzag around the edges. Or threaten to break her fingers ... lol ... joking! Your rainbow cuteness is lovely! And the owls ... OH! THE OWLS! Love it all! You're so awesome and those sweet little girls are two LUCKY, LUCKY girlies!
