Lucy Jane's quilt!

I wrote about this quilt here, and now it is machine quilted!

My friend Cindy Paulson is fabulous :)

She always makes me so happy when I see her gorgeous quilting on my quilts!

Cindy quilted baby rosebuds all over Lucy Jane's quilt :)

This pink polka dot minky is the softest fabric in the world!

Baby rosebuds and delicate leaves, Lucy Jane will love being snuggled up in it!

I chose a pastel pink fabric with baby birds to bind the quilt.

Usually I pick a contrasting color for the binding, but the border color is so soft, I didn't want to detract from it.

Isn't the quilt pretty hanging from my purple plum tree?

Lucy Jane is due to make her arrival in the middle of August.

I can hardly wait to see her :)

Baby Girl Quilt

I have another grand daughter who we are expecting in August :)

It's always a miracle to experience being a grandmother, seeing each special little spirit and who they look like!

I bought this kit at Pine Needles about 5 years ago, I fell in love with it.  So much so, that I bought a girl kit and a boy kit.

I made the blue one for Benjamin, you can see it here.

This is what the main panel looks like without being pressed :)

I think it's so cute and vintagy!!!

Here are the lovely fabrics, there is even a white eyelet.

This is the softest minky!

It will be used for the border and the back.

Aren't these babies darling?

I cut all that fabric into l l/2" strips.

Then I sewed the strips together in pairs, some by fours.

I had lots of these combinations.

In the meantime, I fussycut the baby fabric into 4 l/2" squares.  

I barely had enough, I had to piece one of the squares.

After much measuring, cutting, sewing and pressing, I ended up with these stacks.

Here is the finished quilt top :)

I can hardly wait to bundle up my little grand daughter in this soft, snuggly quilt.  

I'll show you more photos when I get it quilted in July.

These are my favorite little blocks, "soooo sleepy" and "daddy's girl".

"Rub-a-Dub-Dub" and "Peek-a-Boo!"

This quilt is called "Marley Jane" by Remember When Pattern Co.
