the baby quilt that started it all

This is my first baby quilt made for my first great niece.   It's the one that started it all.  Applique designs were pulled from the border that was used in the baby's room.

Olivia's Baby Quilt

Another one that I used the border for the applique designs.  I think I should have skipped the blue border on the center square.

Baseball Quilt

I love making baby quilts especially if the baby's room has a border that I can use for the design elements.  this is my favorite baby blanket that I've made to date.  It's the first time that I have a border with words on it.  I  learned that I need to estimate the size of the font a bit better.  The font was the right size for the border I wanted, but the song didn't fit.  Oh well, it's for a baby, they won't know until years and years later ;)

Baby Quilt

This is a pine needles pattern, when I do these, I do two as I know I'll never do another one.   I also do satin stitch around the applique as I want them to be usable

Twisted Stars

Another Judy Niemeyer quilt, I guess I really like her designs.  My daughter picked out the fabric for this one, she didn't like the pastels that were shown, worked ok but I think would have been better with pastels.  The important thing is that she really likes it.
