Sister's Choice Baby Qiuilt

An old friend is happily anticipating meeting her second grandchild, a little sister to her first. She told me the quilt theme is "Purple and Silver" and that she was having a hard time locating things for the nursery in this color scheme.  DING DING DING!  A challenge!

Not my usual color scheme, I had to SHOP! for a few fabrics to put this one together.  Why have I not used purple often? I like how this turned out!  I LOVE the Sister's Choice block, always putting the colors together a little differently.  Quilted overall in a 2 inch grid, it's ready to snuggle the new baby. 

Tumbling Blocks Quilt

This block has always been fascinating, and now that I have finally made one, I want to make 100!  I want to make one in monochromatic colors, I want to make one in stripes, I want to make one with black spaces, and for babies, and for a man!

Vintage Baby Quilt

Recently, a young friend of mine told me she was expecting her first baby, and was looking forward to receiving a hand made baby quilt from me!  I asked her to tell me what she imagined a hand made baby quilt from me would look like.  She said nothing too trendy, or too pink.  "Kind Of Classic, and Vintage," she described, and showed me a photo of some white fabric with large low volume roses on it.  Well, I have not yet decided, and am working on something traditional with roses on it, but I also went out into my scraps, collected some old tablecloths, napkins and other table linens, and put this simple squares quilt together.  What do you think?

Baby Bunnies Tinted Linens Quilt

Several years ago I made the bunny blocks, using an iron on design published by Aunt Martha's
(https://colonialpatterns.com/)  The motifs are bunnies doing housework and chores.  I then used inktense pencils, watercolor pencils that you draw with dry, then use a brush to wet them and they become permanent ink watercolor!  Then they went in a bag and I forgot about them.  For some time.  Years.....

A year or a few ago I found them and paired them with some pastel Easter fabrics.  Back into a bag they went.  For another year.  Finally I pulled them out and decided to make some Geese Blocks with white centers, and an arrangement that was pleasing.  Had a great stripe for the border.  Maybe a year after THAT I quilted it with Nice and Soft Cotton Batting in a dense 2" grid.  It's finally finished!  It found it's home for a child born on Easter!

Two Dollar Mini Charms Quilt

I found an online source for International Shopping, and it offered packs of 10cm "charm packs" of 50 fabrics.  For $1.00. How could I resist?  I ordered 2 packs, coupled them with some of my existing neutral scraps, and made a very simple quilt. 

Stitched between the blocks and diagonally on the neutrals, it reminds me of a home makers baby quilt from the 1960's.
