wanted to share my (finished) latest baby quilt...
made for eric's cousin's now 2 month-old baby girl, Juliette...
the color scheme was inspired by the colors that her fabulous new momma picked out for her nursery - and also by the (Prints Charming) butterfly print that i used - Baby J's momma loves butterflies! :)
the rest of the prints were mostly picked from my stash - some newer amy butler, some old school amy butler, some joel dewberry, & some smaller prints that i dont know the manuf's of...
the backing is a pink amy butler motif pieced with the prints charming butterfly print...
and up close...
it was so much fun for me to make something this girly! :)
ps - just bc i always like to see the whole pattern of everyone else's quilting projects... here it is spread out on my floor...
:)
ETA >> quilt dimensions >> 5 inch cut squares - 9 squares by 9 squares - 1/4 inch inseams - binding cut 2.5 inches wide :)
Love this! The colors are perfect for a little girl!

So cute! I am having my first baby next February and I am the worst sewer. If you would ever consider making a quilt and getting paid for it, send me an email. I would love one of these!

Love this!
Beautiful colours!
I have to ask - are you a self taught quilt maker? I would love to learn how to make a quilt like that but don't know where to start. :-)

WOW! Beautiful.
I wish I was brave enough to try quilting. I just spent $200 on a quilt from Pottery Barn Kids for my daughter's bed because I figured I'd blow that much on buying fabric etc. and then fail miserably and have to buy the PB bedding anyway. My grandma and two aunts quilt and I've always been tempted to try. Your stuff turns out so beautiful.
