We had two new little granddaughters in June born just two weeks apart! Aren't they going to have fun growing up together!! So pleased that I finally finished the second baby quilt! This one was so sweet to stitch! I just loved the fabrics with leaves, raindrops and butterflies! My daughter had decorated the nursery with a woodland theme, so I added the embroidered blocks of baby forest animals. All hand quilted with simple cross hatching in the center and over lapping flower petals in the side triangle border blocks! I rounded the corners a bit to soften the look and I think it gives it an old fashioned appeal. I'm not a fan of cotton candy, but this one reminds me of those fluffy clouds of sugar. Something sweet for our sweet little granddaughter!
Blessings and hugs to all!
It's beautiful Doniene!! I love that you are hand quilting these special quilts.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Doniene, Firstly I have to say that my youngest granddaughter's name is Elyse. She turned 3 in June. I love the quilt-so precious and it will be well loved. Have a great weekend.

It looks like a sweet confection! Did you embroider the blocks, too? Can't believe how much you get accomplished. I am in awe that you are hand quilting the baby quilts. You are such a good grandma!
