About the same time I was making the flowery quilt in 2010 I also needed to make a baby quilt. Lucky me I found some terrific fabric and the same pattern worked for it too.
This quilt turned out so great it was hard to give up. But give it up I did, because that's what quilters do. We make beautiful things and give them away so someone else can enjoy them too.
This baby quilt was made for my son-in-laws sisters baby. If you need to take a moment to figure it out I'll wait. Anyhow, they had decided not to find out the baby's sex before the birth so I needed a quilt that would work for either sex.
This was such a fun quilt to make. Mostly because the fabrics were so much fun to work with. There were just enough scraps left over of the focus fabric to make a doll quilt. And as luck would have it they had a beautiful baby girl, Izzy.
And just as a reminder of the flower quilt. Here's a picture of it too.
The fabrics made such a difference with this pattern. Simple but great, if I say so myself.
Hope you enjoy your Labor Day weekend. I know I plan to. I was up bright and early this morning. Okay it was still very dark outside at 4:00 but I was up. My sewing room is finally back together again after our sew day last Saturday and I'm ready to get at it.
Happy sewing,
Julie
