Last Christmas I presented my nearly-one-year-old grandniece with her very own quilt. She was thrilled, hugging it immediately.
It has sixteen embroidered blocks. Most of the animals are from a set of 1920s transfers, which I tweaked here and there, giving each animal a balloon (poor hippo has lost his and the kangaroo's baloon is being held by her joey) and drawing a couple of new animals. All the fabrics are
20s or 30s reproduction designs with balloons or dots. The back has one title label (with a pelican) and a "made with love by" and date label, which shows a very smug alligator with several balloons tied on. Hand quilted, with the little rectangles echo-quilted and circles in all the white squares. I'm realy tickled with how it turned out, and I'd love to have kept it for myself!Monique in sunny but cold Texas
