Two New Baby Quilts

I had a VERY busy Summer painting my home and creating these lovely quilts, hence the delay in posting!! Sorry no house pictures in this post. Quilt 1: Swiss Cross Quilt in shades of light and dark gray fabrics. The quilt was a gift for a young boy from his grandmother. I have made quilts for Grandma before, but was surprised when the boy’s mother did not want a “Boy’s Toddler Quilt”. (I was thinking cars, dragons, sports, etc.) She wanted a quilt he would be able to use way into his teens. His mother picked out the quilt design and she and I worked together to find the perfect fabrics for her color scheme. Custom Label - Quilting: Parallel straight lines - Size: Twin. Quilt 2: Fairy Garden. The other quilt was a beautiful baby quilt for a girl. Fairy Garden was made with a mixture of techniques: hand dyed light gray background fabric, applique and embroidery designs. The very excited “Grandpa to be” even picked out all the fabrics!! Fairy Garden is one of my favorite quilts to make. Custom Label - Quilting: Free motions swirls, clouds and cute butterflies - Size: 46 by 51.
