Lime Sherbet Baby Quilt

Updated 9/6/11: photo of Braelynn on the quilt!

I made this little sherbet baby quilt to take to a shower for my friend Cari. She wanted pastel yellows and greens and also forest animals. Well there are lots of forest animals, plus some other fun stuff, like cupcakes! Yum. I used my favorite piecing method: fussy cut the inside square and then add enough fabric around to make the right size. Oh, all hand piecing and quilting as usual, of course.

I happened to have the perfect backing fabric in my stash, this chandelier print by Tina Givens. It is just the right color of yellow-green. I used yellow satin for the binding and it's perfect too.

Here's a boy for scale.

And a closeup of one of my favorite blocks, some dancing frogs by Heather Ross via Kokka Japan. That's Cari, Clay and the baby in the meadow. I previously used the rabbit family from the same fabric in this modern baby quilt for another friend, Sarah.

These colors don't really match each other but I wanted to put the owls in some trees :)

And of course some old Heather Ross prints on top, because I love them, and a cute big doggie.

Enjoy!

Sunday Stash on Thursday

Hello All, It's a Tina Givens stash post today! I love some of her stuff and really don't like others. Obviously, these are the ones I love! I love how the butterflies are 2D and the flowers appear 3D. (See how I matched up the butterflies between the fabric!) I love how there's a little bit of green in the orange butterfly fabric. Double click to see them larger, they really need to be seen up close. See ya!

Sunday Stash

Hello Sunday Stashers! Today I am showcasing some bumblebees from Tina Givens (you really need to double click them to appreciate the beauty of this fabric) and an unknown floral I got in a scrap purchase. I love them both! Cheers!
