I made the Oh My Cacti quilt in baby size! The pattern is by Lindsey at Pen and Paper Designs. Lindsey always writes her patterns beautifully! The blossoms are quite time consuming though, there are a lot of pieces!
I made the quilt for our 16th grandchild, and the first baby to carry on our family name :) Baby boy is due September 21, we can't wait!
The aqua color background color is true in the photo above. I wanted you to see the fabric I chose for the cacti :)
The rattlesnake was fun to make, he is foundation paper pieced, with triangle shapes that don't show up too much with the print that I used. I used the same print for the binding as well.
Fun fact, I strongly dislike snakes but this one isn't realistic since it's made of fabric and I thought he went so well with the cacti!
I put soft minky on the back of the quilt and used the wavy stitch on my Bernina 750 QE to machine quilt it together.
I added a label, I don't have a great selection right now, so thought that this one would work. The color of the minky in the photo below is true.
Here's a photo of our youngest son and his growing family ❤️
I'll see you next week :)
So many cute pictures of your son and family. You did a beautiful job of the sweet quilt - even doing foundation paper piecing - wow! Lovely colours and love your label on the back. Praying all goes well with this new little one.
