Charlie's Baby Quilt

I am expecting my fourth granddaughter in January.  I posted a couple of months ago the fabrics for her baby quilt.  I have now finished the quilt and delivered it to my daughter at her baby shower.

I ordered Lily Pulitzer fabric from Etsy for the dresses.  I found some wood grain fabric for the dress forms.  I cut out the 16 dresses and the 16 dress forms and using Appli-Kay Wonder from Floriana, I ironed on the dresses and forms onto white fabric.  After they were ironed on I used the blanket stitch on the sewing machine to finish the applique edges.

The pattern called for the white blocks to have four different fabrics bordering each of the blocks.  I decided that this would make the quilt too busy, so I decided to use only one fabric to border each block.

I used the same fabrics that my daughter used to make her crib skirt, to border and back the quilt.

I imitated the swirl pattern in the white background fabric when I free motion quilted the quilt.

Here is the finished quilt!

Week Three: "Grandmother's Flower Garden" Quilt

This week was very busy, so I didn't get as far as I would have liked to.

Match Play

Big news!!!!  I won my final match for Matchplay.  I am now the Ladies Matchplay Champion for Piedmont Club!!!!!!

OK. So, the "trophy" I am holding isn't the trophy.  Just wanted to hold something.  The actual trophy has not come in yet to the club.

Week Two: "Grandmother's Flower Garden" quilt

 I do apologize for the lack of post lately.  It is due to a lack of knowledge of computers and technical difficulties.

 This is my week two progress on my "Grandmother's Flower Garden" quilt.
