I spent yesterday in the studio (yay!), and ended the day with a completed baby quilt. My great nephew and his fiance' are expecting a baby boy soon. The shower is this weekend, so I wanted to make something as a gift.
I'd purchased these sweet flannel fabrics on one of my shopping trips with Kathy D., saving them for a special occasion. I thought it would be just the thing for a little boy. I hope it ends up being used for a long, long time, becoming a favorite, well-loved "blankie".
I'll share a photograph of the full quilt tomorrow. I always prefer natural daylight for the best, most accurate image, but as I write this (at midnight) it's quilted and bound and ready to launder before I wrap it up. I'll also photograph the back. I added a twill tape with a quote from The Little Prince from Lillalotta on Etsy. There's a wee lesson to be taught in the words. More tomorrow. I'm going to pop this in the washer now, and then have a cuppa to start my day.
It's too cute!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the other pics of it.
