Dragonfly Baby Quilt

 With the arrival of 2022, my quilting mojo really returned.

It feels so good to be clearing out piles of quilt parts and kits.

The latest finished top was a pile of parts I had made

for another baby quilt last year.

For some reason I went to town cutting and sewing the various

pieces and parts and had a lot left over.

Maybe I was going to make the original quilt larger?

Who knows?!?!?

What I do know is another pile is gone and another top

is finished!!

Here is the original quilt.

It's a Robin Pickens Pattern

called Emilia.

 

I loved making this quilt for my grand niece

and then made it again as a Christmas tree skirt for

my niece and her husband.

 

My first thought was to make another quilt just like this one,

but as I was sewing parts together,

other thoughts came into my head.

 

 I sewed the large triangles together with the small ones

and started playing with these blocks.

I like this layout with the pinwheels, but kept moving the blocks around.

 

This layout was fun, too, but I kept playing.

Then I landed on this one.

This is it! 

Now what to do for borders?

At first I was going to use the lime green and 

turquoise I had used in the original quilt,

but they seemed too harsh for this one.

I had a number of HST's leftover and

started to play with those in the border.

 

 

 

Here is the finished top!

It was fun to just play and move parts around

on my design wall.

 

There are several babies coming this year,

so this will get quilted and set aside for one of them.

 

Happy Quilting!
