It's been a while since I've posted on my blog. I have been busy, but I have a lot of unfinished projects. The weather has been beautiful these past few weeks and I've been busy outside. Now that the last few days have been rainy and cold - I'm catching up and finishing projects. I will be posting them as they are done.
Today I've finished a special quilt for a new member of our family - a baby girl named Bindi. She was born mid-March. My youngest son and his wife have two boys and were hoping for a girl. They got their wish.
I'm not a huge fan of quilt panels, but in this quilt this panel seemed very appropriate. The rainbow panel is from AGF and says "dreams come true". The quilt block design I used is from Sweet Potato Quilts called "Bora". Although I didn't follow the directions from the pattern, I used the idea for the layout. My finished size is 38" by 41".
Included is a cloth toy box that matches the quilt and filled with bandana bibs and outfits. My perfect way to give a quilt gift for a new baby.
This past year has been a busy year for new babies. I have two more baby quilts to give as gifts. One is ready to go, the second is in the making. Summer is on the horizon and I'm not wishing for cooler weather that will keep me inside to sew, but I do hope to get caught up in the next couple weeks.
