Libelle

 I have a new grand niece.

Her name is Julie Libelle.

Julie is after her grandmother, my sister in law,

and Libelle is German for dragonfly.

Grandma Julie loves dragonflies.

 

Well, I've had a quilt finished for this little one for a while.

(I haven't unpacked it yet from my move,

but am pretty sure I know where it is!) 

However, several days before she was born,

I was looking through a box of fabrics and found a 

layer cake of fabrics with dragonflies and such.

I told myself that I needed to make something with it

soon, since it was so pretty.

Little did I know that I would have Libelle arrive within days.

 

 

 

I saw this pattern, Emilia, by Robin Pickens on line and knew

it was perfect for these fabrics.

 

 

 

It was a bit fussy to make this from 10" squares,

but it came together and I love the results.

 

 

This needs a good pressing before it's quilted.

I love how the design goes out into the borders.

Do you see all of the dragonflies?

I'm looking forward to meeting my niece and

giving her this quilt.

(I think I may have to make her grandmother one, too!)

 

I am linking to Design Wall Monday today.

Happy Quilting!
