We have friends who are expecting their first baby in August...
A Girl.
You know that meant a baby quilt needed to be made!
The top has been finished for a while,
and I finished sewing the binding on it today.
A bright, fun, happy quilt for a new little girl.
I quilted "modern" flowers on it and am pretty pleased
with my efforts.
(Just don't look too closely! :D)
As I have mentioned recently, making the backing is my least favorite
part of quilting. I didn't have enough of the lavender fabric for the back,
so decided to use some of the extra squares and HST's to make it big enough.
I have to say, I love the back!
It's difficult to see, but I had made the backing longer then I needed,
so I was able to cut some binding strips from the extra.
The binding has little sections of the squares and HST fabric interspersed
along the way.
I am making progress on the other baby quilt I am making.
The triangles are all sewn together...
...and it's trimmed.
Now I need to sew the borders on to this.
Aren't those daisy's just too cute and happy!
This little quilt makes me smile.

Happy, cheerful quilts!
The baby quilt is just darling - so bright and happy. Aren't pieced backs a fun surprise?
That is beautiful. I think that is the same line of fabric that I used for a quilt for my granddaughter. It will be treasured.
Is that first quilt from Me and My Sister's line? I love the fun bright colors. That triangle quilt is definitely fun and made me smile too at the daisies!
