Emma's Quilt

I made this quilt for Emma Grace, daughter of my friend Erin. I finished it in October 2009, the day after Emma's first birthday. Emma's nursery is lavender with butterflies and flowers. The quilt is made up of 10" blocks with a pieced border. The quilting is in a diamond pattern through the middle of the quilt. I really enjoyed picking out the fabrics for this quilt, and I think the border is fun.


The back is gingham with a polka-dot border and binding.

Tallie's Quilt

Update (August 2010): Here are a couple of pictures of Tallie (age 2) loving her quilt. Sorry that they're fuzzy - they're so cute I had to post them anyway!




My mom and I made this quilt for my neice, Natalie (Tallie) Beth, who is four weeks older than my Molly. We started this quilt while my family was moving across the country, so I designed it, Mom and I put it together, and then Mom did all the finishing - quilting and binding. The quilt was finished in April, 2008. I designed it to match Tallie's nursery (including this bumper). Since they were sharing a room, I also used some of the fabrics from Piper's quilt. The quilt is made up of horizontal stripes in various sizes. The fabric is in various shades of pinks and greens in polka dots, stripes and florals. The quilting is in the ditch.






The backing is floral and polka dots


I really like the effect of the stripes!
