Baby Girl Alphabet Quilt

 When my friend Laketa's daughter was expecting her first baby, I knew it needed to be a very pretty quilt. I found in my stash this gorgeous print of the alphabet and paired it with pieced pastel hourglass blocks. I'm real pleased with how it turned out!  Welcome Baby Zara!

Alphabet Panel

I am not usually into panels, but this one was so delightful!  I purchased it years ago, before I was a Grandma, on a quilt run with my good pal and quilting buddy Sharon.  Found it recently, and since my grandson is 3, he is learning his ABC's right now.  I simply added a border and flannel backing, it's the right size to be a bedspread on a toddler bed.

ABC Quilt (Square in a Square and Geese)

Zeke is two and a half, and is beginning to love ABC books read out loud.  Time for an Alphabet Quilt!  Went out to the stash, I knew I had several, (and I do!) but the one I found right on top was the perfect fabric!  I bought it..... some time ago.  Probably before being a Grandma!

The alphas were all little Richard Scarry drawings, many of them little silly vehicles,  and characters from his books.  I cut them all to a 4 1/2 inch square, then took a charm square, cut it diagonally in quarters, and made a simple square in a square.

The geese were charm squares cut to two 4 /12" by 2 1/2 rectangles, with 2 1/2 " squares used to make the geese points.

Warm and White inside gives this one a little firmer texture, since I will hang it on the wall primarily, in the dining room, so we can look at it and discuss it often!
