In the last few days I finished a couple of quilts. One is a baby quilt for a Katrina baby. My cousin's daughter lived in New Orleans, and had a baby just before Katrina hit. They got out a few days later with only the things they had taken to the hospital, so I decided to make a quilt for her baby. It was mostly stash stuff, left from the things I made for my grandson's nursery 5 years ago.
The other is a quilt for my granddaughter. My mother enjoyed embroidery and her favorite thing was making blocks for baby quilts. I think she did at least 15-20 sets of 16 blocks and my sister and I made them into quilts for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The last set she completed before her death was for my granddaughter. However, DGD is almost 3, so I decided to do a bigger quilt for her. Someone on this group had done a bluework-combined-with-patchwork quilt and I was inspired by that. I designed my quilt in Quilt-Pro; I needed 17 embroidered blocks, so I had Mom make another one to go with the 16 I already had. I used a lot of '30's reproduction prints in many colors, for a bright, scrappy look. DGD will get this quilt for her "big-girl" bed for her 3rd birthday this fall.
